This discussion will examine how militarisation and rearmament are transforming healthcare systems while simultaneously diverting resources away from public services. We will also explore the implications for patients, healthcare workers, and the defence of health as a public good.
The event is organised by the International Association for Health Policy in Europe (IAHPE) and the Association of Democratic Doctors (Germany).
