Jennifer (J) Wells is interviewing Dr May Murray (M), who works for Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). They use time expressions to talk about Mary’s life. J: Good afternoon. I’m Jennifer Wells and today on “Making a Difference”. I’m going to talk to Dr Mary Murray who works for Medicines Sans Frontieres. Welcome Mary.
M: Thank you, Jennifer.
J: Now please tell me why you decided to join MSF.M: Well, while I was studying in Sydney during the 1980s, I got to know two Sudanese students and visited them in 1990. I became good friends with their families and decided to work in a health clinic in their country in 1992 for a couple of months. There I saw children with terrible diseases that could have been prevented. That’s why I decide to work in developing countries.
J: I see. So in 1997 you joined MSF and went to Malawi what did you do there.M: Actually in Malawi I was working with children affected with HIV/AIDS. It was heart- breaking. Children died because we didn’t have enough medicines.
J: Oh, how sad!
M: Yes, but things gradually improved. Now there’s treatment for HIV, which is showing very good results.
J: That’s excellent news. Then, in 2001 you went back to the Sudan again. Let’s talk about your work there.M: Well, the conditions were very challenging. It could be unbelievably hot- sometimes as hot as 56 degrees Celsius! But when the rains came, the roads became so muddy that we spent most of our time digging the car out . The clinics were just mud huts and the only tools I had were a stethoscope and my two hands.
J: Goodness, a challenge indeed!
M: (laughing) True, but it’s amazing what you can do when you have no choice. J: And how do you think these experiences over the last few years have affected you ?
M: Well, they make me grateful for what I have. I really enjoy my work because I feel I’m helping people who otherwise might not get help.
J: That’s great. Now, just before you go … what do you expect to be doing in the future?M: Well, I’m returning to the Sudan in two weeks’ time for a further six months. Then I ’m not sure. I hope to return to Africa again though.
J: Thank you, Dr Murray, and it’s been lovely talking to you. We wish you all the best with you work.
