Screening Room: For Sama

Members Event Screening Room

1 October 2019 - 6:00pm to 8:15pm

Chatham House | 10 St James's Square | London | SW1Y 4LE

Event participants

Dr Hamza Al Kateab, Director, AlQudes Hospital, Aleppo (2012-16); Operation Manager, Huozhi
Rita Dayoub, Academy Associate, Centre on Global Health Security, Chatham House; Founder, Health Workers at the Frontline Initiative
Dr Husam Taha El-mugamar, Vice President, Sudan Doctors’ Union UK
Chair: Elham Saudi, Director, Lawyers for Justice in Libya

For Sama tells the story of a young woman living in Aleppo during a five year period of armed conflict. From 2011 to 2016, Waad al-Kateab documents her personal experience of the war in Syria as she joins the uprising against the Assad regime, falls in love and gives birth to her daughter while living in AlQudes Hospital, run by her husband Hamza and under attack by Syrian and Russian forces.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion exploring the impact of attacks on healthcare institutions in conflict zones. To what extent are attacks on healthcare services used in contemporary warfare? How do these attacks affect health workers in regions facing armed conflict or political unrest? And what is the role of the international community in ensuring the protection of healthcare delivery in conflict zones?

Running time: 95 mins

This event is open to Chatham House Members only. Not a member? Find out more.
