Biography

Dr. Marcel volunteered with Medicans Sans Frontiers for most of his career, alternating 'tours' in various international crisis points with stints a small joint practice in Marseilles. Predominantly a pediatric and gynecological specialist, he was sent to the former Yugoslavia when war broke out. He was in his mid-thirties at the time. It was there he met Eva Petrovic and delivered her baby, who was a month premature and very small. Eva asked Dr. Marcel to name the child and he chose the name Yvette.

Since that time, he has worked in many other parts of the world. In 2002, whilst in Somalia at the time of the first round of armed conflict there, he was shot several times and now walks with a permanent limp. At the insistence of his wife following his recovery, he scaled back his activities with the organisation and reduced his overseas travel. In 2006, he 'retired' from active service entirely and now concentrates on his practice.

In 2007, after being traced and contacted by Kurt Sefton following Yvette speaking about the doctor who had been kind to a small child in an aid camp, Dr. Marcel visited the school, pleased to discover that one of 'his' children had found a safe place.

Dr. Marcel is a passionate, dedicated doctor, devoted to children and determined to do what he can to counter injustice and suffering. Since his retirement from active participation in Medicans Sans Frontiers, he has been involved in many human rights organisations, such as Amnesty International.
