abstract = "The relationship between patient safety and International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in the time of conflict has been rarely captured within debates and discussion regarding safety and the law. While there are extensive protections established by IHL, there are also numerous challenges presented by the nature and scope of modern warfare. the chapter argues that more needs to be done to protect patients and healthcare during armed conflict, with an increasing focus on legal implementation and compliance by both states and non-state armed groups.",
