SUMMARY:Love at First Sight in Toronto!
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE EXHIBITION: \nIf a photo speaks 1\,000 words\, these speak 1\,001. Love at First Sight is not a showcase of technical expertise in composition\, light\, or technique. \nThis exhibition features photos by our Tanzanian\, Peruvian\, and Nepali eye care patients after their sight was restored with cataract surgery or glasses. \nEach photographer was handed a camera and asked to capture what they loved and missed seeing most. \nThese moving images celebrate universal human values and the simple pleasures of family\, friends\, and the beauty in our daily lives. \nWhat do people want to see most when they regain their sight? Love at First Sight offers an intimate answer—through the eyes of former patients who captured what they missed most. \nProceeds from print sales will go directly toward providing sight-restoring care in underserved communities. \nLocation: Arta Gallery\, Distillery District\, 14 Distillery Lane\, Toronto\, ON\, M5A 3C4 \n416-364-2782 — www.artagallery.ca \nFor gallery hours\, please click here! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis exhibition is running at the Arta Gallery from May 7 to May 10\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Expanding Neonatal and Pediatric Surgical Care in Conflict-Affected Settings: The MSF Experience
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the UBC Branch for Global Surgical Care and the Institute for Global Health at BC Children’s and Women’s Hospital (IGH-CW)\, we invite you to attend a talk on “Expanding Neonatal and Pediatric Surgical Care in Conflict-Affected Settings: The MSF Experience” featuring Dr. Shahrzad Joharifard and Dr. Jean-Pierre Létoquart. \nWhen: Wednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 7:00 – 8:00 AM \nWhere: BC Children’s Hospital TACC – Rooms T4-546 A&B + virtual \nIn many conflict-affected settings\, children comprise the majority of the population\, yet neonatal and pediatric surgical care remains largely absent from humanitarian surgical priorities. While emergency surgical programs have expanded globally\, children with congenital conditions and other complex surgical diseases often remain without access to specialized surgical\, anesthesia\, and perioperative care\, resulting in preventable disability\, chronic morbidity\, and death. \nIn this talk\, pediatric surgeon Shahrzad Joharifard and longtime MSF-France surgical advisor Jean-Pierre Létoquart discuss ongoing efforts within Médecins Sans Frontières to expand access to pediatric surgical care in some of the world’s most resource-constrained settings. Through clinical cases and field experience\, they explore the challenges of delivering complex neonatal and pediatric surgical care in environments with limited anesthesia\, nursing\, ICU\, and follow-up infrastructure\, and consider what ethical\, sustainable pediatric surgical care should look like in humanitarian medicine. \nAttend here!
