Health care in danger

The "Health Care in Danger" project is an ICRC campaign that aims to address the widespread and severe impact of illegal and sometimes violent acts that obstruct the delivery of health care, damage or destroy facilities and vehicles, and injure or kill health-care workers and patients, in armed conflicts and other situations of violence. You can help us to to put this problem on the map: Health-care workers must not be attacked - it's a matter of life and death!
