Navigating Risks in Data Collection on Attacks Against Healthcare: New Technologies and Ethical Considerations Stemming from the Insecurity Insight’s Practical Experience

Attacks against healthcare are defined by the World Health Organization as “any act of verbal or physical violence, threat of violence or other psychological violence, or obstruction that interferes with the availability, access and delivery of curative and/or preventive health services” (World Health Organization 2018).
