| Hello/Intro War Dr Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. During war time, it's common to hear about casualties -- American "soldiers" killed and wounded in attacks . But, what about civilians living in war-torn countries? The invisible casualties. Every year, thousands of men, women and children are killed worldwide in regions of conflict. Countless others are left wounded. In 19-94, a doctor from Italy, Gino Strada, helped co-found a humanitarian group called "Emergency". The private, Italian-based organization provides medical and surgical assistance --FREE OF CHARGE-- to civilian victims of armed conflicts. "Emergency" has since established medical and surgical centers in several countries around the world. Dr Gino Strada is here now to talk about the life-saving efforts of "Emergency" Welcome. Q Dr Strada: You didn't start off as a WAR SURGEON. You were involved in Heart and Heart-Lung TRANSPLANTS for a time. What made you change your focus to treating WAR VICTIMS? Q Was there a turning-point -- a particular case -- that lead you to create an organization dedicated to war victims? |

Q How would you describe the work of "Emergency?" Q Give us a sense of the REACH of "Emergency's" Work. Began in Rwanda, expanded to other parts of the world. Q Dr Strada: As a WAR-Surgeon in these regions --what kinds of things did you see? ======================== BETH: Emergency's efforts to build a humanitarian-aid Hospital in Afghanistan were profiled in a documentary -- Cameras followed Dr. Strada into that war-torn country as he worked to negotiate a location for the hospital. The talks included a meeting with the Afghan president. ===== Q Dr Strada: The documentary details the DIFFICULTIES you and your team encountered. What's the BIGGEST OBSTACLE in this kind of endeavor? Q Any special challenges to building that hospital. Are foreign governments RECEPTIVE to your efforts? Any RESISTANCE? Q Is the process of opening a facility the same or does it differ? Easier/Harder? Q Is the goal to hand over these hospitals to LOCAL authorities? Q You've also written a book called "Green Parrots: A War Surgeon's Diary" --in which you talk about your experiences. What's the Significance of the TITLE? Q How big a role do LANDMINES play in the civilian injuries you see? Q Your group actively lobbies against the production of Landmines -- has that effort paid off? Q Do you think your organization has made a difference in preventing civilian deaths? Q You've come in contact with de-miners -- who try to clear the landscape of explosives how do they describe the task? Q What's the organization's biggest CHALLENGE? Q How is the work of EMERGENCY financed? Q How many people would you say have been treated and assisted by "Emergency?" Q "Emergency" is based in Italy -- it has grown quite a bit in 11 years -- how many employees now work for the organization? Q What would you want the public to know about EMERGENCY and its work. Q What's next for Dr Gino Strada? |

NEW HAMPSHIRE OUTLOOK Air Date/Time: 04/20/05 HOST: Beth Carroll Length: 12:00 minutes On this New Hampshire Outlook: Caring for the "Civilian" Casualties of War. We'll talk with a war surgeon about his world-wide humanitarian efforts. Post War Life in Afghanistan. We'll hear from a NH entrepreneur teaching Afghan women how to earn a living with their embroidery. The US launched attacks against Afghanistan back in 2001 as part of its campaign against terrorist groups and states that support them. The country, already dealing with poverty, drought and a destroyed economy, has yet to recover. But, efforts to rebuild are underway. Even before the War, a New Hampshire woman was committed to helping women from that region earn a living and support their families. Rachel Lehr co founded a non profit group called Rubia, which helps Afghan women sell their embroidery here in the states.

Thursday, April 20, 2005: We pretaped this show in March. The in-studio guest was here for taping then. We pretaped 2 summer shows today. We started just after 4pm. It took us some time to edit in the in-studio discussion in the June show. it's always tricky. We finished both shows by 5:30pm. Director's Log: It was a lot of fixing but with the help of the engineers it all went smoothly.if you can call it that. I need to write up a monitor that is out and I think I solved the animated key problem. At least a quick fix of the problem. |
