Our vision and mission
The vision of the Alliance is for a world without war, where health is protected, justice upheld and peace promoted.
The Alliance is a global community aiming to strengthen action on wars/conflicts as threats to health, and uphold justice and accountability as the foundations for peace and health. The Alliance brings together researchers, academics, practitioners and advocates who work to promote the prevention of war and sustainable peace, mitigate the effects of war and conflict on health, and support health rebuilding during and after conflict.
