In Gaza, the Israeli army has killed over 1,700 healthcare workers – often deliberately. Together, we want to remember and honour them: their courage, their sacrifice, and their selfless humanity deserve never to be forgotten.
As people working in healthcare, we cannot and will not remain silent. We want to remind everyone that Switzerland, as the country where the Geneva Conventions were signed, bears a special responsibility: it must use all available means to ensure that respect for international humanitarian law and the absolute protection of hospitals and their staff is restored. Those responsible for these war crimes must be held accountable.
Support our campaign and join us in Bern on the 25th of October!
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. We call on the Swiss Medical Association (FMH) to take a stand and support a boycott of companies complicit in this violence.
