Please join us on Sunday, August 11, as the National Hellenic Museum hosts a conversation with MedGlobal Doctors John Kahler and Peter Houck on the current state of the refugee crisis in Greece.

MedGlobal has been at the Moria Refugee Camp since November of 2018. Moria is the largest refugee camp on the Greek Islands, located in southeast Lesvos. There are currently about 6,000 people in a facility built to hold 3,000. In conjunction with a sister NGO, Kitrinos Healthcare, the MedGlobal clinic is there to serve the acute care needs of the camp residents. Their work includes attending to acute psycho-emotional needs as well as addressing medical needs such as respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses. Dr. Kahler along with Dr. Houck established MedGlobal’s presence at Camp Moria.
