Abstract
The " Health care at risk " project is an initiative of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement aimed at limiting the serious and widespread consequences of illegal and sometimes violent acts that prevent the provision of health care, damage or destroy equipment and vehicles, and injure or kill health-care workers and patients in armed conflicts and other emergencies.
Since the project was launched 4 years ago, the International Committee of the Red Cross and national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies have been consulting with signatory states to the Geneva Conventions, the wider health community and other stakeholders to devise solutions and recommendations that can be put into practice in the field to ensure that the wounded and sick have access to impartial and effective care.
