“Healthocide: A New Word in Healthcare Violence”

• Researchers from the American University of Beirut have coined the term “healthocide” to describe the extreme violence against health systems in conflict zones.

• The term captures the deliberate, large-scale destruction of health ecosystems, similar to genocide.

• The authors argue that physicians and educators must document violations, enforce international humanitarian law, and avoid complicity in healthocides.

• The term is aimed at galvanizing the medical community against the increasing weaponisation of healthcare.

• Some experts, like Len Rubenstein, argue that the term doesn’t add to existing understanding of the sanctity of healthcare and war.

• University of Greenwich global health expert Amal Elamin emphasizes that targeted attacks on healthcare settings and workers are no longer an isolated precedent.

Healthocide: Global Health Crisis is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
