From the time of Florence Nightingale, humanitarian health and aid workers have dedicated themselves to the welfare of patients outside of their own communities, nobly sacrificing their own safety, economic well being, mental health, and sometimes even life. They witness and deal with the human consequences of violent conflict and care for those that are directly affected by it. Dedicated humanitarian professionals such as Albert Schweitzer, Henri Dunant, founder of the Red Cross, and James Orbinski, representing Médecins sans Frontières (MSF), all accepted Nobel Peace Prizes for such work. The primary mission during natural and “human-made” disasters may be to assist persons in need, to shine a ray of hope, and to create humanitarian space, but health professionals in particular, are also potentially in influential positions to promote peace. With their direct involvement in healing they have a certain credibility with the global community, which can contribute to their influence as advocates for peace, whether through raising awareness of relevant issues with the general public or specific interest groups, or by influencing decision makers directly.

在人道主义局势中使健康为和平服务

从弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔 (Florence Nightingale) 时代起,人道主义卫生和援助工作者就一直致力于为自己社区以外的患者谋福利,牺牲自己的安全、经济福祉、心理健康,有时甚至是生命。他们见证并处理暴力冲突对人类造成的后果,并关心那些直接受其影响的人。献身的人道主义专业人士,如 Albert Schweitzer、红十字会创始人亨利·杜南 (Henri Dunant) 和代表无国界医生 (MSF) 的詹姆斯·奥尔宾斯基 (James Orbinski),都因这些工作获得了诺贝尔和平奖。自然灾害和“人为”灾害期间的主要任务可能是帮助有需要的人,照亮希望之光,并创造人道主义空间,但卫生专业人员尤其是在促进和平方面也可能处于有影响力的位置。
