Peace Through Health is an emerging academic discipline to study how health interventions in actual and potential war zones may contribute to peace.

Often low-key and unadvertised, peace through health initiatives have taken many forms such as humanitarian ceasefire, the use of health expertise to restrict weapons and war strategies, and the combining of individual and social healing in war zones.
