After Andrew qualified as a Doctor in 2005 he went with MSF to Pakistan following appalling mud slides and worked there for 6 months and with a few nurses and four other doctors they looked after 16000 inhabitants. The only way in was by helicopter as many of the roads had been destroyed. Following that he did another 6 months and was on the edge of a war zone in Chad where he saw some awful injuries.

MSF teams are working around the clock to treat trauma injuries, conduct surgeries and provide lifesaving medical care to victims of bombings, shootings and indiscriminate attacks.

Yet their work involves much more than frontline trauma care. Conflict has a devastating ripple effect on all aspects of healthcare, leaving many people without access to vital medical treatment.
