How could we respond to a nuclear detonation in a city ? This important (existential ?) question was discussed at #NukeExpo with experts from the military, #UN World Health Organization (WHO), IPPNW ICRC and all those who will be in the frontlines to respond to a humanitarian disaster
In Brussels last week, I learned from Nobel Laureate Dr. Carlos Umana that he learned about NUCLEAR WAR: A SCENARIO from a colleague in Costa Rica who told him about hearing me on the Danny Jones Podcast podcast.
*New media* is global, multi-generational, and incredibly powerful.
Thank…
Last week an IPPNW delegation attended NPA Mine Action and Disarmament and ICRC Brussels's #NukeEXPO with one clear message: your doctor cannot help you following a nuclear war. As a federation of health professionals, we know that we must prevent what we cannot cure. Learn more: ippnw.org/hinw

“Estamos hablando de un escenario en que se detona una sola bomba pero, ¿cómo responder a más de una explosión, a una guerra nuclear? No hay respuesta. La única respuesta es la prevención. Debes prevenir lo que no puedes curar”,dice nuestro compañero Carlos Umana 🏳️🌈🇵🇸, de IPPNW #NukeExpo
We look forward to collaboration and working together to end the inhumane threat that is nuclear weapons. #NuclearBan

As Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) rightly emphasises: “Nuclear risks are health risks.”
Last week we met with him and his team to discuss how we can join forces to amplify the crucial health argument in the call for nuclear disarmament. #NuclearBan
Kudos to World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus for his clear and consistent linkage between peace and health. #NuclearWar on any scale would have devastating health consequences. #Prevention is the only medical response.
