The Role of Royal Colleges in War: advocating to Governments to protect Children and the Vulnerable (3)
Shiela brought a very important issue regarding the role of medical colleges and medical professionals in protecting children during wars and in conflicts. The voting by the Royal College of Paediatricians regarding children in Gaza is an an alert to the world against genocide and indiscriminate killing and destruction. The voice of health workers in general and physicians in particular has to be heard.
With kind regards
