Description :
Of the dozens of paraplegics whom she visits regularly, many are the victims of traffic accidents, or domestic violence, or have congenital maladies. Others have become paralyzed as a result of the ongoing conflict in many parts of Afghanistan. It is these patients that linger in her mind when she thinks about her long career with the ICRC. “It is impossible not to have patients,” she says carefully after some moments of thought. “But I wish we would not have to have patients because of war.”
