TV spot: Keep health workers safe!
When people are wounded or fall sick during armed conflict and internal violence, health workers are there to help, but they don't take sides.

ICRC, 2009 / running time: 30 seconds / English, French, Spanish, Arabic / ref. V-F-CR-F-00988

This 30-second TV spot contrasts the protection afforded to combatants with the vulnerability of medical staff during an armed conflict. Poignant scenes of health workers caring for the wounded and the sick alternate with scenes of combatants preparing for battle.

The spot concludes with a battle scene demonstrating how health workers put themselves in harm’s way, unprotected by flak jackets and armoured vehicles. And it reiterates that the safety of health workers must be ensured at all times so that they can do their work – so that they can save lives.
