“Cancer does not wait for a war to finish – and if your country is at war, your hospital will be treating war injuries, so they are a priority over gynaecological cancers. An abdominal injury might have priority.” Saladin Sawan Consultant Surgeon in Oncological Gynaecology

"So I stay here all the time in the war. I watched it. I look for the future. I don’t have any personal dreams, just a dream for Syria to become great again and to be advanced in medicine." Dr Ikram Habboush, Obstetrics and Gynaecology Surgeon, Idlib, Syria #Syria

"I trained as a neurosurgeon, but I changed to general surgery so I could be more useful in the humanitarian field. David Nott once told me – if you want something, just go for it – this has always stuck with me." Rebekka Troller, Emergency and General Surgery Consultant

"Sometimes an orthopaedic surgeon has to treat a burn patient, or a colorectal surgeon has to do a plaster on a broken leg. Sometimes the surgeon is the only one left in the hospital." Iyad Aifada, General and Colorectal Surgeon, Hebron #palestine #conflictsurgery

We live in Palestine and you know what is happening. Many gun shots to the abdomen, upper and lower extremities, head. There is no neurosurgeon, no vascular surgeon no thoracic surgeon. This training gives us hope. These very difficult days. #palestine #conflictsurgery

I am always living under the cloud of anticipation. I may be needed any time. I have to be ready. Doing the David Nott Foundation course gave me something to rely on. To save someone’s life. Asamaa Nayfeh General surgeon, Northern West Bank #Palestine #conflictsurgery

In Palestine in these war conditions, you have to be ready all the time. In conflict times you have the phobia, the fear that your patients will die, so you are always under stress. Dr Omar Mustafa General and laparoscopic surgeon, Jenin
