The development of the H3 Package: a Package of High-Priority Health Services for Humanitarian Response.
Article in BMJ global health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionHumanitarian crises substantially impact the health of affected populations, and the scale of humanitarian need is at a historic high level. To more effectively support the growing number of people affected by humanitarian crises, the WHO, the Global Health Cluster and humanitarian partners undertook an initiative to define a core set of services to be delivered during a humanitarian response. This paper describes that process.
methodsThe methodology used in the development of a Package of High-Priority Health Services for Humanitarian Response (the H3 Package) was derived from an evidence-informed deliberative process and included the following steps: identifying operational assumptions, defining the burden of disease context, identifying services in relevant existing service packages, identifying priority-setting criteria, defining service delivery platforms, selecting services based on WHO's Universal Health Coverage Compendium of Health Interventions services and conducting an expert validation process.
resultsThe final H3 Package is organised across six domains: foundations of care, sexual and reproductive health, violence and injury, rehabilitation and palliative care, communicable diseases, and non-communicable diseases and mental health. The full package is available online via the WHO Service Planning, Delivery and Implementation Platform. The H3 Package is intended as a reference to be contextualised, and steps for contextualisation are proposed.
conclusionThe H3 Package sets a global standard for a core set of health services that humanitarian actors can reasonably be expected to deliver in humanitarian settings. This paper provides an overview of the H3 package, describes the methods used in its development and suggests steps for package contextualisation and implementation.
