Mama Joanne: Joanne Liu

Joanne Liu: Her medical team with the international humanitarian group M decins sans fronti res was ordered to flee. But what Liu remembers most about that perilous day in the Democratic Republic of Congo isnt her own brush with danger. Its the local staff member who refused to leave his post until the very last minute, according to The Star. Leave the hospital, she shouted back. Leave your patients and tell them to go home and hide. Its too dangerous and When the gunfire erupted outside the hospital in Central Africa, Dr. Joanne Liu was inside, treating the sick, injured and hungry. On the road out of town, Lius cellphone rang. Mama Joanne! he shouted, as shots sounded in the background. There is firing from everywhere. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
