Incompetent surgeons must be very careful
When they take the scalpel!
Beneath their thin incisions
The culprit is stirring: life!

We confirm our commitment for actions against the denialism of the nuclear war, a global threat for people and life.

This issue was and is disseminated through our annual congresses, meetings, webinars and participation in many European and international venues.
The role and mission of medical doctors and their training and culture involve the care of human beings, regardless of differences in nationality, religion and wealth, and the prevention of diseases and threats to health.
This concept is also the fundamental element of the European Medical Association.
Policy makers increasingly use medical expertise for opportunistic political and economic purposes, not always consistent with goals and results favorable to health.
The role of influential doctors and medical associations has been and is increasingly important to counter denials and fake news, as in the recent experience of the covid19 pandemic and vaccines, and the increasingly serious global climate and environmental emergency.
A very important task today for medical doctors and for any medical association, national and international, is that of countering denialism in terms of nuclear conflicts and catastrophes, which can be presented and erroneously perceived as limited local events, not influential on a global planetary level.
The space dedicated to these issues in the training of health professionals is negligible, and even more neglected is in congresses, meetings and medical journals. There are many reasons, not least the fact that these ethical dissemination activities have no public or private sponsors. This issue is of paramount relevance.

The United Nations and much more the European Commission carry out important studies and project activity: but it is all too evident that the Nation States are not at all adequately responsive to rules, recommendations and even compelling diplomatic agreements.
Despite the lack of any feedback from political institutions, our European Medical Association has never stopped intervening on environmental issues, outlining the risks of nuclear wars, including local ones. We are aware that this independent information is a key intervention tool to safeguard the health and life of mankind.

I am pleased of sharing my article:
Stimulating maximum health-care workers staff performance in crossfunctional and multiracial work environments.

https://www.panafrican-med-journal.com/content/article/41/278/full/ #

In a world where there is added stress on healthcare systems, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, we acknowledge that healthcare systems around the globe often run in a dysfunctional way at the best of times. In this article, we identify some of the issues that surround workers´ dissatisfaction including lack of open, accountable, transparent, and honest management. We examine the theories behind a more accountable work environment and examine the potential for improved worker productivity as a result of physical, emotional, mental, intellectual, and spiritual wellbeing. We conclude that there is a need for organizational leaders and administrators to support organizational justice through the expanded use of work team processes, whereby staff is involved in assessing organizational functionality and recommending improvements. Supervisory consideration, job variety, and perceptions of training have positive effects on job satisfaction, staff performance, and organizational commitment.

EMA’s President and all EMA’s Members support all Russian and Belorusian teachers, medical workforce and scientists who oppose the war despite the risk for their own privileges and safety. This could be a spike of hope that public opinion in Russia will grow enough to stop the madness and cruelty of this tragedy.
Our position is aligned with the decisions of FEAM and of AMSE:
“The Executive Committee of The Association of Medical Schools in Europe (AMSE) follows with concerns the war actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, including the involvement of Belarus and expresses concerns for the safety, health and well-being of all civilians impacted by the crisis. As result the AMSE Executive Committee resolves to suspend the AMSE membership of Russian and Belarusian medical schools until further notice. This suspension includes that those medical schools will not be further shown on the AMSE webpage and will have no voting rights in the AMSE General Assembly. No further member fees will be issued.
On behalf of the AMSE Executive Committee, the AMSE President Harm Peters.”

First, we would like to express our deep concern for loss of life and the potential humanitarian disaster triggered by the war in Ukraine. We express solidarity with the people of Ukraine and with scientists and physicians whose livelihood and research are jeopardized and may be destroyed by the cur...
