One on One Dr Mariwan Majid - a Kurdish cardiac surgeon in Prague
My guest for One on One this week is Dr Mariwan Majid, a cardiac surgeon who lives and works in Prague. As his name suggests, Dr Majid is not originally from this country but from Kurdistan in northern Iraq. He moved here to study medicine over a decade ago and has now married and settled in the Czech Republic. Dr. Majid's native Kurdistan suffered terribly at the hands of Saddam Hussein's regime, and was the scene of a number of horrific chemical bomb attacks in the late 1980s, which left thousands of people dead. I spoke with Dr Majid about the changes he noticed on a recent visit to his home province following the fall of Saddam Hussein's brutal government. But the first thing I wanted to know is what actually brought him to study in the Czech Republic?
