Medact (original) (raw)

Medact is a non-profit organization and registered charity, whose mission is "to support health professionals from all disciplines to work together towards a world in which everyone can truly achieve and exercise their human right to health". Medact was formed in 1992 following the merger of the Medical Association for the Prevention of War (MAPW) and the Medical Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons (MCANW). Following the merger of these not-for-profit medical peace organizations, Medact broadened its mission to include the health threats posed by climate change and economic inequality.
