Uvira, Democratic Republic of Congo - Having never visited Africa before, Israeli burn specialist Dr. Eyal Winkler was apprehensive about what was in store for the delegation of five medical specialists which he led this week to Congo. The locals turned out to be good hosts - but working with Western volunteers proved more complicated.
'I came to save lives, but also because it’s important to me to show that Israel is not the Flotilla Country that it is painted out to be,' said Winkler, deputy director of the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Sheba Medical Center."
