Episode Description

Every May in London, Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) hosts Scientific Days, an annual innovation conference.

The event brings together medical and humanitarian experts from around the world to share the research they have been doing into the conditions and crises that they face every day.

In this episode of Everyday Emergency, we spoke to three specialists about their research and how it could help patients.

From a game-changing antivenom to new tools in malaria prevention and the science of documenting traumatic injuries in Gaza, this is a behind-the-scenes look at life-saving innovation.
