From Gaza to Sudan and Ukraine to Yemen, wars today extend beyond military confrontation to affect entire systems of social collapse. Health infrastructures, disease control, and humanitarian access are no longer neutral, as public health increasingly intersects with diplomacy.
Health diplomacy plays both a strategic and ethical role, facilitating ceasefires for vaccination campaigns, securing humanitarian corridors, and rebuilding fragile networks of trust. As recognition grows that health security underpins stability at national and regional levels, public health is evolving from a technical field into a central arena of global politics.
This lecture examines how health security is transforming international diplomacy. It provides a critical perspective on the connections between medicine, diplomacy, and ethics, exploring how societies can maintain the universal right to health in the face of ongoing conflict and fragile peace.
The event will be held in English.
