In 1996, Moses Massaquoi and several thousand refugees boarded a Nigerian freight ship to escape the ravages of Liberia's civil war. Within 3 days the ship began to founder in the waters off Cote d'Ivoire, before Massaquoi, acting as the ship's doctor, decided to take charge. “The crew were unable to communicate a SOS radio message. I fixed the radio aerial, and was able to recall from memory the radio signal for MSF in Liberia. Fortunately they got the message out, and we were rescued before the ship sunk”, Massaquoi recalls.

摩西·马萨奎（Moses Massaquoi）：人道主义危机中的卫生领导者

1996年，摩西·马萨奎（Moses Massaquoi）和数千名难民登上了一艘尼日利亚货运船，以逃避利比里亚内战的破坏。在3天之内，这艘船就开始在科特迪瓦附近的水域中创立，然后担任该船的医生Massaquoi决定负责。“机组人员无法传达SOS无线电消息。我固定了无线电天线，并能够从内存中调出利比里亚无国界医生的无线电信号。幸运的是，他们得到了消息，我们在船沉没之前就被救出了”，马萨奎伊回忆道。
