Health Report From Gaza

Canadian Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Deirdre Nunan was hosted by BC Physicians Against Genocide to share her most recent work in one of the barely standing hospitals left in Gaza. In discussion with best- selling author Naomi Klein, Dr. Nunan described the horrific situation taking place and discussed ways Canadians and people around the world could help.

Dr. Nunan, who completed her medical training through UBC’s Northern Medical Program in Prince George, has spent much of the past decade working in international humanitarian contexts, including Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Central Asia. She has spent nearly 2 years working in Gaza, including having worked there on 3 occasions during the past year. She most recently returned to Canada in July, after working at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.
