Dr. Mukwege, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018: “When we call on Aviation Sans Frontières, it is to go to inaccessible areas, to restore humanity instead of the bestiality that is there; therefore, I think that for us the airplane is not a luxury, but a means of expressing our collective humanity! »

World-renowned gynecologic surgeon Dr. Denis Mukwege is the founder and medical director of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
