Medecins Sans Frontieres Hong Kong

An MSF-HK event...
On behalf of Médecins Sans Frontières Hong Kong (MSF-HK), I would like to invite you to join us in a luncheon, with Dr. Rowan Gillies, President of the International Council of MSF, as the key speaker on 21 December 2004 (Tuesday).

The year 2004 is a gloomy and exceptional year for humanitarian work. As an international medical humanitarian organization, MSF was forced to withdraw from Afghanistan and Iraq after many years of work.

Dr. Rowan Gillies will have a two-day visit to Hong Kong this month. He has undertaken MSF missions to Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Liberia. He also visited Darfur, Sudan during the summer of 2004. We are glad to have him to share about humanitarian work in today's world, especially in the age of the "War on Terror".
