Standing Side by Side with People in Need

As a supporting practice of « Médecins Sans Frontières » (Doctors Without Borders), I am proud to contribute to humanitarian medical care around the world. Since 2006, I have been actively involved with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), the international humanitarian medical organisation. As part of this long-standing commitment, I have repeatedly served as a physician on international humanitarian missions, including several deployments lasting several months.
Among many humanitarian missions, my work has included providing primary and surgical healthcare in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, emergency relief following the earthquake in Haiti, and caring for people affected by armed conflict in Syria and Yemen. These experiences have profoundly shaped me, both professionally and personally, and have further strengthened my commitment to compassionate, patient-centred medicine.
