Who We Are

We are a network of healthcare professionals in Switzerland. We are nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, complementary medicine practitioners, paramedics, occupational therapists, psychologists, and many others.

Together with colleagues around the world, we are committed to doing our part to stop the genocide unfolding before our eyes in Gaza and the atrocities in the occupied Palestinian territory.

We stand united against all forms of racism. We take a clear and unequivocal stance against anti-Semitism.

Our Mission

As people working in the health sector in Switzerland, we can no longer remain silent in the face of the constant attacks on the health sector in Gaza and the genocide taking place before our eyes.

The Government of Switzerland should do everything in its power to ensure that the Geneva Convention are respected: The wounded, the sick, medical personnel, ambulances and hospitals (or other medical facilities) must be protected.

Humanitarian aid must be allowed into Gaza immediately to prevent tens of thousands of people from starving to death, and to save an entire generation of children from being wiped out.

Words are not enough to stop the genocide taking place before our eyes - action is needed. By failing to act, Switzerland is complicit.*
