“‘Systematic assaults on medical professionals, facilities and patients are breaking Syria’s health-care system and making it nearly impossible for civilians to receive essential medical services,’ they said in an open letter. The letter described the attacks as ‘deliberate and systematic…. (and) an unconscionable betrayal of the principle of medical neutrality.’ ‘We call on the Syrian government and all armed parties to refrain from attacking hospitals, ambulances, medical facilities and supplies, health professionals and patients; allow access to treatment for any patient; and hold perpetrators of such violations accountable according to internationally recognised legal standards,’ it said.”
