Saving Lives Via Video Link

Dr Maher Saqqur is originally from Damascus in Syria, but has lived in Canada for many years. He's a neurologist, who doesn't just treat patients where he lives, but also thousands of miles away in rebel-held eastern Aleppo - which has seen heavy bombardment and hundreds of people killed in the past month alone. Hospitals have been attacked too and Dr Saqqur works with medical staff assessing patients via video link and making difficult decisions about treatment. He told Anu Anand how he does it.
