Health for peace: from rhetoric to reality

Health and peace are interlinked. Sustainable Development Goal 16 is about ‘peace, justice and strong institutions’. The constitution of the WHO, the United Nations agency on international health, recognises health as fundamental to the ‘attainment of peace and security’. Health can be a bridge for peace especially in settings where conflict torments people’s lives.
