This review explores the integration of sustainable development goals (SDGs) into healthcare organizations in conflict zones, with a specific focus on emergent models aimed at improving population health. The primary objective is to examine how innovative approaches such as telemedicine, mobile health clinics, and community health worker initiatives can be aligned with SDG targets, thereby enhancing healthcare outcomes in conflict-affected regions. The review focuses on the important areas of concern which encompasses technology, infrastructure, community engagement, and social/psychological factors. Particularly, strategies of improving existing technologies such as electronic health records and mobile health applications, enhancing health systems and community-based interventions, and integrating of mental health services are highlighted. Other focal points include advancing better water, sanitation and hygienic practices, sustainable water resource management, and other alternative financing mechanisms, such as public-private partnerships. Integrating these strategies are closely linked with the active participation of international, local governments, and affected communities in their effective implementation. This review highlights the need for monitoring and evaluation to assess intervention effectiveness and advocacy efforts to ensure that interventions supported and advocated by the international community are creating successful outcomes towards the SDG goals and improving population health in post conflict settings.
