Abstract
The World Health Organization has noted the important synergies between health and peace since its very inception, both in its foundational document and in its work globally. The WHO Constitution remarks that the "health of all peoples is fundamental to the attainment of peace and security and is dependent on the fullest co-operation of individuals and States". In addition, peace is noted as being one of the fundamental conditions to promote health in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion in 1986. The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) has been contending with the challenges borne of conflict and insecurity for decades. Currently, nine out of the 22 countries and territories in the Eastern Mediterranean Region are represented in the World Bank's List of Fragile and Conflict Affected States ranging from acute conflict to high institutional fragility.
