Dr. Christos Christou served six years as International President of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders).
As a young doctor, he saw a poster with a bullet beside a medical bag.

In this episode, we talk about leadership under pressure, moral courage, and what it truly means to stand on the side of humanity.
