The protection of health care has long been a cornerstone of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Indeed, the Movement is rooted in providing neutral and impartial care to the wounded and sick in times of armed conflict.
The genesis of the Health Care in Danger Project and Initiative was brought about through the adoption of Movement Resolution 5 of the 31st International Conference in 2011 and Resolution 4 of the 32nd International Conference in 2015.
These Resolutions represent the Movement seeing a need to redouble its focus on safeguarding healthcare and the actions since a fulfillment of commitment to addressing these diverse needs.
From 2011, the ICRC followed up on its Resolution 5 commitment to spearhead a series of global expert consultations in partnership with the Movement to compile guidance and recommendations that if implemented would address the need to protect health care.
Since 2015, the strategic orientation has been driven by an overriding emphasis on the operationalization of practical measures to concretize recommendations and guidance into actions.
