who we are.
We are an initiative of doctors and health professionals who came together in 2025 to actively advocate for the protection of human dignity and life.
Our actions are guided by the conviction that it is our professional ethical duty to stand up for the preservation of fundamental human rights, wherever they are violated.
We see it as our responsibility to provide enlightenment and to advocate for the protection of all those who are exposed to growing violence - especially civilian populations and humanitarian professional groups.
The founding took place against the background of the war in Gaza, which has been assessed as genocide by human rights experts, and which has deeply shaken us as medical and humanitarian actors.
We stand for the humanitarian principles that are firmly anchored in universal human rights and international humanitarian law.
For this reason, we advocate for a world in which the inviolability of human dignity as well as the protection of life and health for all is guaranteed – and in which medical and humanitarian work can be carried out unhindered and safely.
Through our work and commitment, we want to contribute to combating violence and denouncing unbearable conditions.
