Associate medical director Karen Woo (pictured) has swapped a comfortable job with private healthcare firm BUPA for aid work and film-making in Afghanistan.
Currently in Kabul making a documentary and delivering medical supplies collected in the UK, Dr Woo told 'BMA News' she was ‘flat broke and living in a war zone’ but enjoying helping people in great need. On graduating from medical school, she commenced surgical training before joining BUPA.
She now works for medical evacuations company Remote Medical Solutions International, and is leading Bridge Afghanistan — a non-profit organisation delivering, and making a documentary about, aid in the country.

Dear Karen!
Very well done to all what you did for Mankind! This is a real example of TRUE HELP and unselfish service for others.
You are a hero and will always be remembered as such.
They might took your body but I know they could not harm YOU.
We are looking forward for your fast return continuing your mission to save others! Lots of love: Nora
