Please join Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Humanitarian Affairs Program at Columbia University’s School for International and Public Affairs (SIPA) for a panel discussion about the international response to the ongoing crisis of childhood malnutrition.
The panel:
Dirk Salomons(Moderator) is the director of the Humanitarian Affairs Program at the School of International Public Affairs, Columbia University. Salomons focuses on the interaction between policy and management in humanitarian operations.
David Rieff is an author, non-fiction writer, and policy analyst whose books have focused on issues of immigration, international conflict, and humanitarian action, including A Bed for the Night. His current book will investigate the roots of global childhood malnutrition.
Barbara Cooper is the director of the Center for African Studies at Rutgers University. She is the author of numerous articles and books on the history of Hausa women in the Maradi region of Niger, including “Chronic Malnutrition and the Trope of the Bad Mother.”
Dr. Anje van Berckelaer is a Philadelphia-based family physician and MSF aid worker who has completed field assignments that included treating children for malnutrition in Niger and the Central African Republic.
Following MSF’s massive intervention during the nutritional emergency in Niger in 2005, when medical teams treated more than 60,000 severely malnourished children, MSF invited a variety of authors to reflect on the multifaceted crisis. The result is the recently released book Niger 2005: A Not-So Natural Disaster, which explores the various lenses through which aid agencies, international institutions, national governments, policy makers, and mothers themselves viewed the crisis and looks at how lessons learned in Niger can be applied to future crises.
Based on this and other field experience treating malnutrition, MSF has identified key policy and programmatic changes that can be made to improve the dire situation faced by millions of vulnerable children each year in the world's malnutrition hotspots of Southeast Asia and parts of Africa including the Sahel and the Horn. In particular, MSF is calling on the United States and other international donors to scale up effective programs and to make sure that food aid meets the nutritional needs of children.
A reception will be held prior to the event at 6 PM.
This event is free, wheelchair-accessible, and open to the public.

Please join Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi) for a moderated panel discussion on Chagas disease, a forgotten illness that threatens over 100 million people throughout the Americas.
Between 8 and 15 million people are already infected with Chagas, and thousands die each year from the disease.
100 years after the discovery of the disease, few of the millions of patients needing treatment for Chagas are ever diagnosed or receive treatment. When they do, they are treated with drugs that are known to be toxic. In addition, no pediatric formulation is currently available, even though the acute form of the disease primarily afflicts children.
Chagas is caused by an infection of Trypanosoma cruzi, a deadly parasite that is passed to humans through the bite of the vinchuca bug (also known as the chinche, barbiero, assassin, or kissing bug). The disease primarily afflicts poor, marginalized populations in the 21 Latin American countries where the disease is endemic, but due to population flows, Chagas is increasingly present in urban habitats, as well as in non-endemic countries in North America and Europe.
The discussion will be moderated by award-winning journalist Julio Cesar Ortiz, Univision 34 News Reporter. On stage will be three experts in the field; Dr. Tom Ellman, a physician who heads MSF’s Chagas treatment and prevention program in Bolivia; Dr. Sheba Meymandi, Director, Center of Excellence for Chagas Disease, Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, the only treatment program for Chagas disease in the United States; and Dr. Bernard Pecoul, Executive Director of DNDi, a non-profit pharmaceutical research and development organization working to develop new and improved treatments for some of the world’s most neglected illnesses, including Chagas.
Dr. Ellman will share MSF’s experience treating Chagas in Bolivia and discuss ways to scale up in endemic countries, while Dr. Meymandi will share her experience treating people in the LA-area for Chagas. Dr. Pecoul of DNDi will discuss the challenges in developing new treatments for Chagas disease.
This event is free, wheelchair accessible, and open to the public.

Book Reading: Six Months in Sudan An evening with MSF aid worker and author James Maskalyk
New York, NY
Please join us for a book reading featuring physician James Maskalyk, who will share selections from his recent book SIX MONTHS IN SUDAN at Bluestockings bookstore in New York's Lower East Side.
Dr. Maskalyk set out for Abyei, a town in the disputed oil-rich region of Sudan, in 2007 as an MSF doctor in the field. Equipped with his experience as an emergency physician in a downtown hospital and his desire to understand the hardest parts of the world, Maskalyk’s days were spent treating malnourished children, fending off a measles epidemic, and staying out of the soldiers’ way. Worn raw in the struggle to meet overwhelming needs, he returned home six months later more affected by the experience, the people, and the place than he had anticipated.
"Six Months in Sudan" began as a popular blog that Dr. Maskalyk wrote from his hut in Sudan in an attempt to bring his family and friends closer to his hot, hot days. It is a story about humans: the people of Abyei who suffer its hardship because it is their home, and the doctors, nurses, and countless volunteers who leave their homes with the tools to make another’s easier to endure. With great hope and insight, Maskalyk illuminates a distant place - its heat, its people, its poverty, its war - to inspire possibilities for action.
Listen to Dr. James Maskalyk, author of "Six Months in Sudan", recount his work with MSF in Sudan on NPR's Talk fo the Nation.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and First Second Books are pleased to present a unique exhibit featuring photos and illustrations from the graphic novel THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
In 1986, photojournalist Didier Lefèvre documented a clandestine cross-border humanitarian mission undertaken by a Doctors Without Borders team to assist Afghans stranded without medical care in areas hardest-hit by the Soviet invasion. This one mission was part of a massive humanitarian aid effort launched by Doctors Without Borders in the months following the 1979 Soviet occupation. Dodging Soviet aircraft and navigating treacherous terrain, Lefèvre’s journey nearly cost him his own life. Over a decade later, he collaborated with acclaimed illustrator Emmanuel Guibert to bring this story to life in THE PHOTOGRAPHER, a work translated into eleven languages.
This exhibit offers a glimpse into the book through Lefèvre’s dramatic images and Guibert’s stunning artwork, and bears witness to the atrocities and suffering the Afghan people endured—and still endure today.
Please join us for an opening reception Thursday, April 23 at 6-8:30 PM at VII Gallery, and a gallery talk on May 5, 2008 at 7 PM also at VII Gallery.
The exhibit and reception are free, open to the public, and wheel-chair accessible.

At a time of increasing food prices and food insecurity, Dr. Lokuge will speak of the urgent need for international action.

Nicolas de Torrenté, MSF-USA's outgoing Executive Director, will deliver the keynote address at the opening of the 2009 Northwestern University Conference on Human Rights. His talk will give MSF's perspective on current priorities for humanitarian action, including conflicts in Somalia, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as address constraints to delivery of impartial, independent assistance to affected populations, such as heightened security risks faced by aid workers. He will also discuss challenges and opportunities in tackling major health crises, particularly the largely invisible yet devastating toll of childhood malnutrition.
The Northwestern University Conference on Human Rights (NUCHR) is the largest undergraduate student-organized and student-attended conference on human rights in the United States. NUCHR is dedicated to fostering social activism and raising awareness of international human rights issues by uniting student delegates from across the country with renowned activists, academics, and policy makers.
