  • Statement on Current Conflicts in our Region

    With several wars affecting our region at the moment, EYFDM echoes the WONCA statement on health professionals working in areas of conflict. In particular we stand in strong solidarity with all young family doctors working in conflict zones as they serve their communities in a time of crisis, and we wish for peace to come swiftly.

    In the face of escalating tensions and violence around the world, WONCA seeks the global cessation of all violence as a solution to conflict and condemns both terrorism and oppression of vulnerable peoples everywhere. WONCA supports all health professionals working in areas of conflict and continues to call for particular attention to the protection of all patients and frontline health workers and any healthcare facility where persons go to seek aid for illness and injury.
