This photo was taken earlier this week at the Healthcare in Danger Symposium in London. The meeting was the first of its kind to bring policymakers, academics, medics and civil society together to focus on the global problem of violent threats to health care.
The symposium took the first steps towards agreeing on a response to a problem that denies health care to tens of thousands every year, causes untold unnecessary deaths and worsens the suffering of the sick and wounded caught up in conflict.
The ICRC's Health Care in Danger project will be involved in the organization of a number of events over four years that will examine how to improve security and delivery of effective and impartial health care in armed conflict and other emergencies. Click here for more information.
