In the last decade, there has been a push for greater evidence-based practice within the humanitarian sector, alongside an increasing turn towards localising humanitarian assistance.

This article is intrinsically valuable to promote epistemic justice, thereby contributing towards the decolonisation of the global healthcare system.
