It is undisputed that " peace is essential to ensure a healthy , productive global population ." The nature of armed conflict is changing , putting health workers increasingly in harm's way. The harm done when health workers are attacked is not limited to the assault itself, but has a knock on effect that can deprive patients of treatment. In conflict zones, attacks on doctors, nurses and ambulance drivers continue unabated, flouting one of the oldest principles of international law: to respect the neutrality of medical workers in war.This goes against the spirit of the Geneva Conventions, the fundamental tenets of international humanitarian law, and our basic humanity.The frequency of attacks and the impunity afforded to their perpetrators demands strong, sustained and fearless action at the national as well as global level.
To erase and rewrite this , we present to you the agenda for WHO :
" DISCUSSING THE NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF ETHICS OF HEALTHCARE IN WARZONES AND CONFLICT REGIONS . "
Stay tuned for futher updates !
