Can one person change a life simply by showing up?
Around the world, there are women whose lives have been permanently altered by violence, burns, acid attacks and circumstances most of us can barely imagine.
Yet alongside those stories are extraordinary examples of courage, resilience and hope.
Join Dr Inge Haselsteiner for a powerful and deeply moving Learning Lunch exploring the human side of medicine and the life-changing impact of compassion in action.
Based in Munich, Dr Haselsteiner has spent years volunteering with Women for Women (Reconstructing Women International), travelling to countries including Bangladesh, India and Pakistan to provide reconstructive surgery for women who have survived devastating injuries and trauma.
In this intimate conversation, she will share stories from the frontline of humanitarian medicine, the remarkable women she has met, and what she has learned about resilience, dignity and the extraordinary strength of the human spirit.
This is not a medical lecture.
It is a conversation about humanity.
About what happens when skill and compassion come together.
And about the difference one person can make in the life of another.
Expect moving stories, thoughtful reflections and a rare opportunity to hear from someone whose work is changing lives around the world.
