Ziekenhuizen zijn allesbehalve immuun voor rampspoed. Integendeel: ze zijn minstens zo kwetsbaar als de samenleving die zij dienen.

Rampen en crises binnen ziekenhuizen komen regelmatig voor. Sinds enkele jaren doe ik daar onderzoek naar.

Een 🧵 over #ziekenhuisrampen 🏥💥🔥🌊
Mijn interesse voor dit onderwerp kwam niet helemaal uit de lucht vallen. Of eigenlijk juist wel 😬

In 2017 kwam het plafond van onze SEH naar beneden. Gelukkig vielen hierbij geen doden of gewonden, maar het incident opende mijn ogen. Een onderzoekslijn was geboren 🧑‍🔬
Al van jongs af aan ben ik gefascineerd door rampen.

De tsunami in 2004, ik was 1e jaars geneeskundestudent, heeft een onuitwisbare indruk op mij gemaakt. Wat wilde ik die mensen graag helpen. Maar ik kon nog helemaal niks.

De behoefte om iets te doen is gebleven.

Today in @nytimes print: 4 data-filled pages on hospital & civilian attacks in Syria, the UN's limited inquiry into these, and the perpetrators, which the UN will likely withhold. Design by @talasafie, @cgee and @gianordoli. Interactive here: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
@nytimes @talasafie @cgee @gianordoli @trbrtc @SyriaCivilDef @P4HR @ActionForSama @dim109 @Step_Agency @SyriaCivilDefe The locations of these facilities were given to the UN & coordinates shared with warring parties. But that didn't stop them being hit. Attacks continue: in one week this month, at least 81 civilians incl 13 women, 14 girls and 20 boys were killed. reliefweb.int/sites/reliefwe…
