Hamburg IPPNW European Meeting ends with a call for Peace
In the midst of war and pandemic, physicians across Europe gathered together in Hamburg over 20–22 January 2023 to discuss nuclear disarmament and the prevention of nuclear war. They arrived at the Hamburg declaration: a call for peace in Europe. Prominent speakers, medical students and European IPPNW leaders engaged in interactive skill sharing on strategic planning, policy-making, and good governance – and held a demonstration at the City Hall to raise local public awareness of the humanitarian catastrophe of war.
