Ärzte ohne Grenzen e.V. I Live vor Ort in Leipzig I Als Kinderärztin in Bangladesch und im Südsudan

In the organizer's words:

Pediatrician Mona Tamannai has been working with Doctors Without Borders for more than ten years. She has worked in Bangladesh in the world's largest refugee camp and in South Sudan, among other places. "Time and again, I have experienced how much I enjoy working with our teams on the ground," says the doctor.

South Sudan has one of the highest child mortality rates in the world. Many children suffer from malnutrition and malaria. "From a medical point of view, we can treat all of this well if the patients arrive on time," says Tamannai. "Unfortunately, however, South Sudan lacks medical facilities and, above all, well-trained staff. That's why training and further education are very important - and in the end they save lives just as much as a pack of special therapeutic food or a malaria drug."

Last year, Mona Tamannai developed a comprehensive training course in pediatrics that is specifically tailored to the challenges in our project countries. She will use photos to illustrate her own experiences in the projects and explain the processes in a project with Médecins Sans Frontières. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to talk to her and other MSF staff.
