Speaker
Dr. Sian Geraty
Emergency Physician
Department of Health, Port Elizabeth, South Africa
I am a Specialist Emergency Physician working in the beautiful Eastern Cape of South Africa. I recently spent 6 months working with MSF in Baghdad, Iraq, in a local Emergency Department, where MSF helped to set up a triage system. I hope to be able to work with them again soon! I love God and am passionate about social justice and improving global emergency care. I love my family, trail running, and surfing.
