Medical Neutrality

Medical neutrality is the principle that healthcare providers and humanitarian workers must offer care and assistance impartially, regardless of a person's background, political beliefs, or the conflict around them. It means they should not take sides or discriminate based on who the patient is, ensuring that every individual receives safe, unbiased treatment. This principle aims to protect patients and medical staff during conflicts and crises, allowing healthcare to be a safe space for healing and support, irrespective of the circumstances or affiliations involved.
