Later that day, I went to the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall, a beautiful and haunting space, and my experience was even more memorable as I stumbled upon a group of Japanese schoolchildren on a field trip, singing in unison.

The second plenary at #HSR2024 offered a touching reflection on inclusion, justice, and belonging in times of conflict & peace. That this plenary was occurring in #Nagasaki, of all places, was not lost on me.

Getting us started: Dr Abdulkarim Ekzayez leading a fascinating satellite session on building health system governance in Syria. Health systems are built from the people that comprise them & social sciences can be leveraged to inform health systems strengthening.

If the number of children living in a conflict zone made up its own country, they would comprise the third most populous country in the world.

In total, a staggering 1 in 6 children — 425 million — globally face conflict as a daily reality. Let that number sink in.
