Doctor specializing in orthopedic surgery, Alice regularly goes on humanitarian missions alongside the association La Chaîne de l’espoir. “1:15 p.m.” followed her to Jordan.
This new issue of “1:15 p.m. on Saturday” (Twitter, #1:15 p.m.), portrays Alice, a doctor specializing in orthopedic surgery. On a daily basis, she cares for children and young adolescents in hospital in Lyon. And as soon as she can, she goes on a humanitarian mission.
She is committed alongside the association La Chaîne de l’espoir, which works in around thirty countries with children sentenced for lack of access to medical care. A great lesson in solidarity to try to change the destiny of these disadvantaged children and offer them a better life.

Last month, she went to Jordan, this small country neighboring Syria where the civil war has been going on for twelve years. This conflict caused the death of 500,000 people, and 7 million Syrians had to leave their country. Among them, more than a million have found refuge in neighboring Jordan, and see the hypothesis of a return to the country moving away.
While the media spotlight today focuses on the war in Ukraine, French surgeons like Alice continue to travel to the region to treat Syrian refugee children who suffer from deformities.
