“Conversations" featuring Anna Ost - in association with UoG's Refugee Support Society

"Conversations" featuring Tom McKearney - in association with UoG's Refugee Support Society

In 2018, Tom decided to pack his bag and use his skills as a trainee GP to help people with little access to medical care: Rohingya refugees, crammed in a camp in Bangladesh after fleeing the violent persecution in Myanmar.

Tom will talk about the Rohingya – who they are and what has forced them to leave their home. He’ll describe the difficult living situation they were facing even before Covid-19 and how the current pandemic has exacerbated the circumstances in the camps.

Join us and the UoG's Refugee Support Society on Tuesday, 8 December 2020 at 17:15 to hear more from Tom!
