Famous surgeon to give a talk on his Gazza experiences
Kerry Healthcare Workers for Palestine is hosting a medical education evening to highlight the current crisis in the state.
The group is led by Killarney-based Women's Health Specialist Dr Brenda Moran.
Kerry Healthcare Workers for Palestine is a voluntary group that advocates for peace and a lasting ceasefire in Gaza which is currently undergoing the most horrific bombardment in living memory.
They hold monthly vigils outside University Hospital Kerry with other Healthcare Workers.
On Thursday, July 18, at the Brehon Hotel, the group will host Professor Nick Maynard, a leading Gastro-Intestinal Surgeon who has visited hospitals on the frontline in Gazza.
He will give a talk on the difficulties facing medical staff in Gazza during the current conflict.
“Professor Maynard has more than 25 years of extensive experience in his field of expertise. As well as being the immediate past president of the Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery of Great Britain and Ireland, he has also been travelling to Gaza for well over a decade providing medical education and training to Healthcare Workers there in both Al Shifa and Al-Aqsa hospitals,” event organiser Susan Larkin told the Killarney Advertiser.
“This is a not to be missed opportunity to hear a first-hand account of the dire condition of the healthcare system in Gaza currently and promises to be a fascinating lecture.”
Tickets can be pre-booked via the Eventbrite portal by searching ‘An evening with Professor Nick Maynard, Surgeon, on his experiences in Gaza’.
