Virginia (Ginny) Morrison has completed four assignments with MSF, most recently in 2008 in Chad near the border with Darfur, where she was Field Coordinator for a hospital providing health care to over 27,000 IDPs. Her previous assignment, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was also in an IDP camp. Her first two assignments were Angola; in 2005, she responded to an outbreak of the Marburg virus, a highly contagious relative of the ebola virus, and in 2004 she helped establish a program to treat sleeping sickness, or human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Ms. Morrison lives and works near Boston. She holds a BA in Political Science from Colby College, a MSc in Nursing from Yale, and completed Family Nurse Practitioner certification at the University of Michigan. She hopes that her new 3 month old daughter Aliya likes to work with MSF as much as her mother!
