Calling for Unity, Solidarity, Continuity, and Access-Oriented Action in Times of War

Résumé fourni par la source

War is an assault on health, and on life itself.War is an anathema to the profession of pharmaceutical physicians, and their vocation to serve the health of people.Pharmaceutical medicine is dedicated to the education, training, research, development, delivery, and oversight of medicines for the prevention and treatment of human disease, the reduction of suffering caused by ill health, and the improvement of the quality of life of individuals, communities, and populations.War divides.War is disruptive and generates discrimination.In the presence of the fault lines of armed conflict rippling through our medical and scientific research communities [1, 2], we call for unity and action; unity across the healthcare professions and the sciences, and action-oriented towards continued access to healthcare and medicines [3][4][5], including investigational medicines [6], peer-reviewed journals [7], scientific meetings [8], and online academic programs [9,10].Specifically, we argue for the continuity of non-clinical and clinical research, and tertiary education.We call for the protection of our colleagues and patients, the declarations and resolutions of the World Medical Association, the tenets of Good Clinical Practice, and the commitment to human rights in all places affected by armed conflict [11].
