Fifteen Million (!) Health Professionals to Governments: "Eliminate Nuclear Weapons"

On September 18, two days before the Signing Ceremony for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons at the UN, four international health federations—together representing over 15 million health professionals—released a statement to "urge all states to sign the treaty" and calling upon nuclear-armed countries to "completely and irreversibly dismantle the warheads, nuclear weapons programs and facilities."

The joint statement was from the World Medical Association, International Council of Nurses, World Federation of Public Health Associations and PSR's international affiliate, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.
