Ärzte ohne Grenzen e.V. I Live vor Ort in Berlin I Als Kinderärztin im Sudan und in Afghanistan

In the organizer's words:

Pediatrician Solveig Köbe has already been on eight missions with Doctors Without Borders. Most recently, she worked in Sudan, where a brutal war has been raging for four years, and in Afghanistan.

"I had already worked in Afghanistan four years previously. Since then, the situation has become even worse," reports Köbe. "After international aid funding, especially from the USA, was cut, more than 400 health facilities in the country had to close. We have clearly felt the consequences of this in our project in Mazar-e Sharif: more and more parents have had to travel even greater distances to find help for their sick children. Our ward was overcrowded. We were sometimes treating three children per bed."

Solveig Köbe will use photos to report on her work and explain the processes in the MSF projects. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to talk to her and other MSF staff and to ask questions about missions in war and crisis zones around the world. The event is free of charge. The number of participants is limited, so please register via the MSF website or by emailing anmeldung-veranstaltung@berlin.msf.org.
