A nursing organization in the United Kingdom has ended its relationship with pharmaceutical company Teva UK over the firm's links to the Israeli military, according to a report from Anadolu Agency.
As part of the move, Teva UK has been stripped of its sponsorship of the upcoming RCNi Nursing Leadership Summit, removing the company from an event it had previously been set to support.
A sponsorship decision tied to the war
The decision reflects broader scrutiny that companies with ties to Israel's military have faced from professional and civil society organizations since the start of the Israel-Gaza war. The report did not detail the specific nature of Teva's links to the Israeli military that prompted the decision.
Teva, an Israel-founded pharmaceutical company with significant UK operations, was not quoted in the available report responding to the decision.
RCNi, which organizes the Nursing Leadership Summit, has not issued additional public comment beyond the removal of the sponsorship, according to the available account.
The move adds to a series of similar sponsorship and partnership reviews undertaken by UK professional bodies in response to pressure from members and the public over the ongoing conflict.
