Call for Healthworker Stories

11/03/2022

The Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) is collecting first-hand accounts of health workers (including ambulance drivers) whose safety or ability to provide high-quality health care has been affected by conflict or civil unrest in 2022. The SHCC wants to highlight these personal accounts in its next annual report, which will document attacks and violence against health care in places in conflict around the world and provide recommendations for how policymakers can act to better protect health workers and the places where they work.

We are especially seeking accounts from the following countries, which had the most reported incidents of violence against health care in 2022:  

  1. Afghanistan 
  2. Burkina Faso
  3. Cameroon
  4. CAR 
  5. DRC 
  6. Ethiopia 
  7. Haiti 
  8. Iraq 
  9. Libya
  10. Mali 
  11. Mexico
