Web-based courses accredited by WMA
In October 2014, the ICRC launched a new e-learning on health care responsibilities in times of conflict and other emergencies. This module is specifically designed to help health-care personnel understand the effects of violence...

"Health Care in Danger" is an ICRC-led project of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement aimed at improving the efficiency and delivery of impartial health care in armed conflict and other emergencies. The International Council of Nurses, the World Medical Association, the International Pharmaceutical Federation, and the International Committee on Military Medicine have joined the project to contribute their expertise and to promote its aims among their members.

This e-learning module is an essential tool bringing clarity to all and will empower physicians worldwide," said Dr. Xavier Deau, President of the World Medical Association. "It will enable them to understand their rights and responsibilities and ethical obligations in situations of emergency. The WMA warmly welcomes this ICRC initiative."
