Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Dr Shannon Melissa Chan, an upper gastrointestinal surgeon and assistant professor from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, exemplifies what doctors can do to provide help and a glimmer of hope to those experiencing such humanitarian crises. Since completing her general surgery fellowship in the Prince of Wales Hospital, Dr Chan has been closely working with Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières; MSF) to provide surgical care globally. Even as a young Fellow trained in general surgery, Dr Chan initially did not fulfil the technical requirements, as MSF expects a very broad surgical exposure including orthopaedic procedures, obstetric and gynaecological operations, simple neurosurgical procedures, such as Burr hole, and even nephrectomy.
