[It is] very difficult, very hard, very unpredictable, very unstable but we don't have a choice... We try to do our best. There are too many men with guns in Somalia but that's the environment in which these vulnerable people find themselves.

It is totally unacceptable that there are countries with no paediatric cardiac surgeries.

completely and totally unacceptable.
