Key problem that divides European Union these days is refugee problem. Huge amount of migrants have entered European Union in the year 2015. And that's the reason why each European Union member state is solving problems connected to emergency care of refugees. One of the most important parts of emergency care to refugees is connected to their survival. In newly established refugee camps is of crucial importance provision of potable water, food, shelters and medical care. Once an outbreak of diseas e occurs in refugee camp it's vital to take fast and effective public health interventions. Measures to control outbreaks depend on type of each disease and can vary from immunization of population at risk to detection of diseased and their rapid treatment.
