From 8–10 October 2026, health workers, students, activists, unions and organisations from different countries will come together in Rotterdam for IMA OUT!, three days of discussion, organising and collective action for Palestine. Taking place alongside the World Medical Association (WMA) General Assembly, the mobilisation will focus on medical neutrality, the protection of healthcare workers, health justice and demands for accountability within the international medical profession.

Marches, demonstrations, and sit-ins in support of the Palestinian people, demanding respect for international humanitarian law, an end to attacks on civilians, and a halt to hostilities against healthcare workers and the medical mission, ahead of the third anniversary of the genocide on October 7.

Silence in the face of genocide, discrimination against Palestinians, condoning attacks on healthcare and healthcare workers, and complicity in torture ; violations of medical ethics have no place in our profession. We cannot accept the Israeli Medical Association’s disregard for the Medical Ethical Code or its failure to uphold the principles of medical ethics.

 The World Medical Association General Assembly is coming to Rotterdam. And so are we. It is time to suspend the IMA from the WMA.

Dr. Ana Rilloraza is a rare community medical practitioner, immediately choosing to go into Community Medicine to serve marginalized communities in the countryside straight out of medical school. Among her patients were indigenous peoples, rural poor communities, and those trapped in disaster-stricken and militarized areas.
