Its current director is Dr David McCoy, a public health physician and academic. Medact was formed in 1992 following the merger of Medical Association for the Prevention of War (MAPW) and the Medical Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons (MCANW). Following the merger of these not-for-profit medical peace organisations, Medact broadened its mission to include the health threats posed by climate change and economic inequality. Their areas of work are spread across four main areas: War And Weapons, Climate and Ecology, Economic Justice and Health and Human Rights.
