The
Humanitarianism speech given by James Orbinski was, to me, the most
inspirational of the three speeches we read. I really liked it because these
"Doctors Without Borders" could be doing there practice in a safe
environment making way more money but they chose to be selfless and help those
who need it the most. I really admire this because they went to school for a
very long time to do what they do and they didn’t do it for the money they did
it for the good moral cause. What is happening in this situation now is a group
of doctors who call themselves "Medecins Sans Frontieres" or
"Doctors Without Borders" travel around the world and provide
professional assistance to people not receiving help in either natural disasters
or human caused disasters, civil wars. They believe all humans have the right
to efficient professional care no matter their status, race, or color. “Over
our 28 years we have been, and are today, firmly and irrevocably committed to
this ethic of refusal.” James Orbinski said in his Nobel Peace Prize speech.
In
Conarky, Guinea there has been a massive outbreak of Ebola. “Doctors Without
Borders” emergency team is facing challenges in stopping this epidemic because on
of their three treatment centers was suspended. “Doctors Without Borders” is supporting
the Guinean ministry of health in its attempts to stop the outbreak. There have
been 151 suspected cases and 95 deaths to date in Guinean. “Doctors Without
Borders” has 60 international staff currently working in Guinea, and they are
flying in more than 40 tons of supplies to help tackle the epidemic.
