Open letter: let us treat patients in Syria

Original Text

Gro Harlem Brundtland, Eliza Glinka, Harald zu Hausen, Roberto Luiz d'Avila, on behalf of 51 signatories. See appendix for the list of signatories
________

The conflict in Syria has led to what is arguably one of the world's worst humanitarian crises since the end of the Cold War. An estimated 100 000 people have been killed, most of them civilians, and many more have been wounded, tortured, or abused. Millions have been driven from their homes, families have been divided, and entire communities torn apart; we must not let considerations of military intervention destroy our ability to focus on getting them help.

Doctors to warn that Syria's healthcare system is at 'breaking point'

‎16 September ‎2013 | Haroon Siddique


Open letter says Syria is suffering because of attacks on hospitals and 15,000 doctors have fled the country. A group of 55 doctors and medical professionals, including three Nobel Prize winners, will warn this week that Syria's healthcare system is "at breaking point" because of attacks on hospitals, staff being attacked, imprisoned or fleeing the country, and humanitarian organisations being denied access to patients.
