Dr Indu Gambhir practiced emergency medicine for 22 years in Canada, and then went on to complete missions in Africa and India. They will be speaking about the work they completed, the challenges they faced while working in such unique settings. Additionally, both physicians will briefly discuss the recent bombing, by the American military, of an MSF hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan which left 19 dead, including 12 MSF staff.
