"Do No Harm" - Medact meeting on war, arms trade & health

Earlier this month, over 276 health workers sent a letter to the UK government urging them to stop supporting the arms trade and arms fairs such as DSEI.

We held a meeting on 30 September 2019 to discuss the intersections between health, war, the arms trade and human rights.

The 3 speakers on the panel were:

Rita Dayoub, Syrian dentist, Academy Fellow at Chatham House and founder of Health Workers at the Frontline
Dr. Sara Beleil, consultant psychiatrist and Academic Secretary of the Sudan Doctors’ Union UK
Ann Feltham, Parliamentary coordinator at Campaign Against the Arms Trade

The meeting was chaired by Reem Abu-Hayyeh, Medact’s Peace & Security Campaigner.
