\"\"Professor Leonard Rubenstein, founder and Chair of the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition<\/a>, of which the EFN is a member of, has just published his book<\/a> \u201cPerilous Medicine: The Struggle to Protect Health Care from the Violence of War\u201d,<\/em> which brings together extensive research, firsthand experience, and compelling personal stories. Perilous Medicine also offers a path forward, detailing the lessons the international community needs to learn to protect people already suffering in war and those on the front lines of health care in conflict-ridden places around the world.<\/p>\n

There are many contributions for our nurses and colleagues on the ground addressing the pervasive violence against hospitals, patients, nurses, doctors, and other health workers which has become a horrifically common feature of modern war. These relentless attacks destroy lives and the capacity of health systems to tend to those in need. Inaction to stop this violence undermines long-standing values and laws designed to ensure that sick and wounded people receive care.<\/p>\n

A live-streamed conversation about the book with Professor Rubenstein and Steve Morrison, director of the Global Health Policy Center<\/a> at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, will take place on Wednesday 15 September. To attend the event, you can register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
