In the Name of God
We, the members of the academic community and healthcare personnel, have gathered today to affirm a fundamental and undeniable principle:
The protection of human life and the safeguarding of medical, pharmaceutical, educational, and research facilities are universal and sacred rights, the violation of which can not be justified under any circumstances.
Our lived experience in the field of health clearly demonstrates that universities and educational institutions, hospitals, emergency relief centers, healthcare teams, pharmaceutical networks, and medical scientists must, within the framework of international law and humanitarian rules, be recognized as "neutral and immune humanitarian zones" and remain protected from any military or security aggression.
Any harm inflicted upon patients, the wounded, relief workers, physicians, nurses, and researchers, as well as the destruction of health and research infrastructures, is not only a flagrant violation of ethical and humanitarian standards, but also a direct threat to global health security and to the future of science, medical technologies, and equitable access to treatment.
We, academics in the field of medical sciences, irrespective of any geographical, political, or ideological boundaries, insist on the following principles:
1. The dignity and life of every human being are absolutely precious and must be protected.
2. No patient, wounded person, child, mother, elderly person, or any individual in need of health care should ever become a victim of circumstances beyond their control.
3. Researchers, physicians, and all health workers must be able to continue their humanitarian mission of saving lives in completesafety.
4. No excuse – whether armed conflict or emergency situations – should hinder people's access to essential medical, pharmaceutical, and rehabilitation services.
Today, we declare this message with a loud and resolute voice:
We expect all global institutions, particularly the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and humanitarian law bodies, to guarantee full protection of educational, medical, pharmaceutical, and research facilities as clear examples of "facilities essential for collective survival," and to respond swiftly, transparently, and responsibly to any aggression or damage to health infrastructures.
In conclusion, as members of the great family of medical sciences and the health system, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to professional principles, medical ethics, human dignity, and the relentless effort to improve health and achieve a better life for all human beings.
Health is a universal right and a common red line of humanity.
