‘I am afraid Afghanistan will soon be forgotten’

Dr Albert Cairo talks to Mishal Husain about his work in Afghanistan

In 1990 an Italian physiotherapist arrived in Kabul to work at the Red Cross orthopaedic centre. Then - as now - the country was in a state of transition and insecurity - there were battles for control as the Russians were withdrawing. Dr Alberto Cairo is still there more than 30 years later - and he is not going anywhere - continuing to help land mine victims, amputees and others with mobility and prosthetic limbs. He spoke to Today’s Mishal Husain
