Kariantti Kallio

I am an anaesthetist originally from Finland.

In late April 2017, I began my first posting with Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) - four weeks working in a hospital in Yemen.

Now, I have just returned from my second assignment with MSF, this time in the Central African Republic.
