Violence against health care in humanitarian settings is common and occurs with impunity. Assaults on health care, whether or not directed specifically at the COVID-19 response, impede efforts to control the pandemic and must be understood and addressed. In this webinar, Professor Len Rubenstein from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and select panelists held a moderated discussion on the nature of these attacks, and potential solutions for addressing them and keeping health care workers safe.
