Attacks against healthcare are defined by the World Health Organization as “any act of verbal or physical violence, threat of violence or other psychological violence, or obstruction that interferes with the availability, access and delivery of curative and/or preventive health services” (World Health Organization 2018). These violent events disrupt healthcare delivery wherever they occur, as a consequence of staff shortages when health workers are killed or injured, when access to care is directly obstructed or denied, and when medical supplies and infrastructure are looted or destroyed (Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition—SHCC 2024).

摘要

Attacks against healthcare are defined by the World Health Organization as “any act of verbal or physical violence, threat of violence or other psychological violence, or obstruction that interferes with the availability, access and delivery of curative and/or preventive health services” (World Health Organization 2018). These violent events disrupt healthcare delivery wherever they occur, as a consequence of staff shortages when health workers are killed or injured, when access to care is directly obstructed or denied, and when medical supplies and infrastructure are looted or destroyed (Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition—SHCC 2024).
