#NotATarget

"Speak up" is a fundamental principle in medicine when something goes wrong.

Attacks on hospitals and healthcare professionals are increasing at an alarming rate around the world, with no regard for the consequences, whether in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Ukraine, Sudan or elsewhere. What is happening there could happen anywhere!

If you work in the Swiss healthcare sector, join us in demanding respect for the Geneva Conventions, unequivocal protection for hospitals, healthcare professionals and patients in armed conflicts, and the fundamental right of every human being to adequate medical care.

Save the Date

We don't want to live in a world where attacks on hospitals and the killing, torturing and injuring of healthcare workers are normalized!

The deliberate destruction of the health system in Gaza and the brutal attacks on healthcare in other countries must have consequences, and the perpetrators must be held accountable for their crimes.
To restore international law and the respect for the Geneva Conventions, we need the Media in Switzerland to speak up with us. Therefore we are holding our protest close to SRF studio.  And we need every healthcare worker (and every other citizen) who is concerned about this to join us!

When: May 30th 2026, 2 PM to 4.30 PM
Where: Zurich, Leutschenplatz

Memorial for Gaza Healthcare Workers 25.11.2025

As healthcare workers, we cannot remain silent. Switzerland has a particular responsibility to uphold international humanitarian law and ensure the protection of medical facilities and staff. Those responsible for the attacks on Gaza’s healthcare system must be held accountable. On 25 October, we held a memorial in Bern to raise public and political awareness of this urgent issue.

Letter to Swiss medical associations

We are living in troubling times. As Israeli military actions are increasingly recognized as Genocide, Swiss institutions remain silent. As medical doctors in Switzerland, we have an ethical duty to speak out. That’s why we called on the Swiss Medical Associations (FMH, VSAO and others) to take a stand and support a boycott of companies complicit in this violence.
