War as a Public Health Issue (2)

24 May, 2024

Dear friends

War is a systematic method meant to kill and maim (ie the exact opposite of health and wellbeing). It is a catastrophic for health.  Inter-state wars is a development issue. Achieving SDGs will be a distant dream when bombs rain from the sky. As global citizens we need to press for an 'end to all wars'. 

Please read, reflect and if you agree sign on the petition addressed to the UN Secretary General.
