The last time the #NPT achieved a consensus outcome was 16 years ago when states agreed to express their deep concern at the continued humanitarian risk of nuclear weapons. @ippnwstudents.bsky.social member Sofia Vitale joins us in New York to re-center the humanitarian impacts.

Anna hosted a session on Medical Peace Work, highlighting why peace and health belong together in medical education and how, as future physicians, we are not only health professionals but also advocates for peace.

Together with Pauline Gatmaytan, student volunteer at the IPPNW Geneva Office, she also represented IPPNW at the Student Activity Fair, meeting and exchanging ideas with students from across the globe and hearing what truly moves the next generation of doctors.
