WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasizes the importance of peace to achieve global health, highlighting the devastating impact of conflict on healthcare. From Gaza to Sudan to Ukraine, conflict leads to displacement, malnutrition, and violence, with attacks on healthcare facilities compounding the crisis. WHO calls for the protection of healthcare under international humanitarian law and advocates for accountability for attacks. The Global Health and Peace Initiative aims to use health interventions as a bridge to peace, building trust and cohesion. Ultimately, global cooperation is crucial to resolving conflicts and achieving lasting peace for the health and well-being of all people.
