Inspirations: Delivering Babies Under Gunfire

Dr Marzia Salam Yaftali runs the last public hospital in the Afghan city of Kunduz.

Gynaecologist and Outlook Inspirations nominee Dr Marzia Salam Yaftali has for nearly two years been running the last-standing, public hospital in the Afghan city of Kunduz. It's a city that has long been dangerous, but the stakes were especially high in 2015 when the Taliban attempted to recapture it.

Marzia appeared on Outlook on 23rd August 2017.
