Global Alliance on War, Conflict & Health
The Global Alliance on War, Conflict & Health
The Alliance is a global community aiming to strengthen action on war and conflict as threats to health, and to uphold justice and accountability as the foundations for peace and health. It brings together researchers, academics, practitioners and advocates who work to prevent war and promote sustainable peace; mitigate the effects of war and conflict on health; and support health rebuilding during and after conflict. Through research, collaboration, capacity sharing/building and advocacy, the Alliance seeks to advance this field of scholarship and practice, provide leadership, promote equitable partnerships, and amplify the voice of those most affected by war and conflict.
The Alliance was launched on July 1, 2022, via an online event. The launch included presentations from the President of the American University of Beirut, the Minister of Health of the Central African Republic, the Regional Director of the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean Region, in addition to the Alliance Chairs, Executive Directors and Alliance members.
