Definitely, healthcare can never be a target.
In other words, healthcare and healthcare facilities must be kept out of the fighting by all parties involved in the conflict.

[World Medical Association @medwma]

Health facilities and those they serve must be strictly protected under international humanitarian law. Hospitals, health professionals, and civilians are not legitimate targets in any conflict. Medical neutrality and the safety of care must be upheld without compromise.

The Second Open Expert Meeting on the Revision of the WMA Declaration of Taipei will take place on 5–6 March 2026 in São Paulo, Brazil.
