Making War Less Deadly | Margaret Bourdeaux | TEDxBeaconStreet

War kills civilians--but do you know how? Most people think war kills civilians through violence. In fact, war kills civilians mainly by destroying the institutions that provide human security, including health institutions. Dr. Bourdeaux proposes a new global approach to war that focuses on protecting and recovering human security systems and institutions.

Dr. Bourdeaux is a physician and global health policy analyst working at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital Division of Global Health Equity.
