Episodes of collective violence, a term that encompasses war, state-perpetrated violence and organized violent crime, create significant adverse health effects and other costs. Prevention and mitigation of collective violence are among the highest-priority tasks for the international community. The World Health Organization (WHO) makes a unique contribution to these tasks, by virtue of its leading role in the health sector and its ability to address health and the prevention of violence in a synergistic manner. WHO has developed the concept of "health as a bridge for peace" (HBP) to describe actions within the health sector that contribute to preventing and mitigating collective violence. This Working Paper reviews HBP experience to date and proposes a strategy to maximize HBP achievements in the future, with a primary focus on the role and comparative advantages of WHO. Specific recommendations are proposed for HBP-related actions by WHO during the period 2007-2009.
