The full program: Attacks on health care in war - University of Oslo (uio.no)
Conflicts that involve assaults on health care infrastructure, have both immediate and long-term consequences. This is more and more evident as conflicts are increasingly taking place in urban settings. Attacks kill or injure vital health care staff, destroy lifesaving facilities, damage critical infrastructure essential to effective function in society, and induce fear in the general population. In the long term, health care is substantially reduced manifesting in epidemics and pandemics.
