    <abstract locale="en_US">Many low- and middle-income countries currently contend with conflict arising from war, political instability, or sanctions. These conflicts have directly impacted the accessibility and availability of healthcare services and products, resulting in increased mortality rates and endangering public health. The complex economic, social, and political circumstances stemming from these conflicts pose significant challenges to the effective functioning of health systems. This perspective will explore the experiences of setting priorities in health amidst countries under different conflicts, including prolonged chronic conflict (Sudan, Somalia), sanctions (Iran), and temporary conflict (Thailand). It aims to provide insight into the distinct obstacles and potential solutions associated with prioritizing health in these complex settings.</abstract>
