Health care in danger: The human cost

When armed violence breaks out, hospitals, ambulances, the sick and wounded must be protected from attack, as must health workers as they deal with the skyrocketing needs around them. Unfortunately, the health system itself is often the first casualty of war and armed violence.

Through the voices of doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers and patients, our new film shows the human cost of violence against health personnel and the facilities where they work.

WARNING: this film contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing.
