The WFN is concerned about the ongoing wars and armed disputes around the world. The role of the WFN as a scientific society, composed of 123 member societies is building bridges between societies, members, medical disciplines, patients and carers.

The WFN condemns any conflicts of war. Our role is to advocate for neurology, patients, and carers which is endangered in these situations and reduces access to care and treatment. Moreover, any armed conflict will also cause new casualties and victims, many of them with neurological sequelae and subsequent mental conditions.

The WFN urges and request to stop conflicts by arms and war, and return to communication, negotiation, and discussion, which are the strongest asset of human mankind.
