We celebrate International Women's Day
Women’s leadership globally, in Doctors Without Borders, and in the contexts within which we work, is sometimes unrecognized. To mark International Women’s Day 2022, we are highlighting women working in and alongside Doctors Without Borders, and the individual strength and leadership they display as they contribute to high quality, patient-centred care in our projects. This webinar will involve speakers and other contributors from a cross section of society to talk about their personal journeys in overcoming adversity.
The event creates an avenue for participants to reflect on their experiences, to unlock their innate strengths and draw inspiration for the journey ahead. Whether a student, manager, senior executive, or entrepreneur we have prepared a seat for you.

Eliza's childhood dream was to be in the medical field, serving in humanitarian aid as seen on medical documentaries. She kept her dreams close to her and eventually became a nurse in 2012. After graduating from nursing in Malaysia, Eliza chose to work away from the comfort of her hometown. After reuniting with her long-lost twin sister, she moved to Singapore in 2014 to develop her nursing skills in the maternity sector.
Having served six years as a maternity nurse in private hospitals in both Malaysia and Singapore, Eliza embarked on a new adventure with Doctors Without Borders in 2019.
She is currently serving her fourth mission in Bangladesh as a Nursing Activity Manager, upholding the spirit to explore and discover. Eliza dedicates herself to providing help whenever possible, hoping to give above what was received and creating stories to share shortly.
