The Battle Beyond the Frontlines – On “Doctors Without Borders” with Karel Hendriks
Room for Discussion is honoured to welcome Karel Hendriks.
He has worked with Médicins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) for over a decade and is now the Deputy General of the organisation and the Director of the Dutch branch, providing immediate life-saving care for people in conflict zones, natural disasters and epidemics.
What is the meaning of assistance provided by medical humanitarian organisations? What are the main challenges faced by aid workers today? How do they remain neutral in conflict zones? What is the responsibility of doctors on and beyond the frontlines? How can aid help sustain local healthcare systems?
For answers to these questions and more, make sure to check out our new interview.
