Social and Medical
When conflicts end and the leaks stop, the health and social impacts of these emergencies are not repaired overnight.
The Green Cross Social and Medical programme, known as SOCMED, improves the lives of people suffering from long-term medical and psychological conditions and socio-economic impacts caused by exposure to radioactive and chemical contamination.
SOCMED works in countries affected by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe, in South-East Asia following the use of Agent Orange in the 1970s, and in northern Iraq addressing long-term consequences of poison gas attacks in the late 1980s.
