Entre conflictos y esperanza: la vocación médica en zonas de guerra | Gala Melgar | TEDxUDeusto
Gala Melgar nos invita a un viaje a través de la medicina en zonas de conflicto, explorando la dualidad entre la devastación de la guerra y la esperanza que representa la labor médica. A través de sus experiencias en hospitales de campaña, partos en condiciones límite y la atención a mujeres en entornos de violencia, Gala nos muestra el verdadero significado de la medicina como un acto de servicio y humanidad. Reflexiona sobre cómo cada decisión médica puede marcar la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte, y cómo la vocación trasciende las barreras del miedo y la incertidumbre. La doctora Gala Melgar es ginecóloga, divulgadora médica y autora de varios libros, con una trayectoria marcada por su compromiso con la salud en contextos de extrema dificultad. Su experiencia con Médicos Sin Fronteras la ha llevado a trabajar en zonas de conflicto como Yemen y otros países de Oriente Medio, donde ha atendido a mujeres en condiciones médicas críticas, enfrentando desafíos humanitarios y sanitarios de gran magnitud.
Además de su labor asistencial, Gala es una apasionada de la divulgación médica, utilizando las redes sociales y la literatura para acercar el conocimiento sanitario al público general. Su capacidad para transmitir con claridad y empatía la realidad de la medicina en crisis humanitarias la ha convertido en una voz influyente dentro y fuera del ámbito clínico.
Su trayectoria refleja una combinación única de valentía, vocación y resiliencia, inspirando a profesionales y estudiantes de medicina a comprender el impacto de la asistencia sanitaria en los lugares más vulnerables del mundo.
