The Secretary-General strongly
condemns the killings of three doctors from the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea, in north-eastern Nigeria, and of the health workers days earlier. The
Secretary-General offers his sincere condolences to the families of all the
victims.
Those killed were working selflessly to provide
basic life-saving interventions to the most vulnerable people. Such attacks
severely limit health workers' access to the populations who need them most and
could have devastating effects in the fight to improve the health of people
everywhere.
These acts of outrageous
violence towards health workers around the world are unacceptable. The
Secretary-General encourages all countries to protect health workers so that
they can continue to better the health of populations and save lives.
