Abstract
The danger is significant and growing.  The nuclear-armed states must eliminate their nuclear arsenals before they eliminate us. The health community played a decisive part during the Cold War and, more recently, in developing the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. We must retake this challenge as an urgent priority, working with renewed energy to reduce nuclear war risks and eliminate nuclear weapons.
