Katja Goebbels
Walenstadt, Switzerland


.
Nominated: "Best group leader of the tour"

Introduction I am a 27 year old doctor from the most western city, Aachen, in Germany, but now I left my country to start working in Walenstadt, Switzerland. I have no active experiences with IPPNW but I was active in social and catholic organizations all my youth.

Motivation
I first heard of IPPNW in a workshop about humanity in medicine which was organized by students of my university and I really noticed how I support the ideas of IPPNW without knowing about the organization before. I want to do something beside working, something that has a deeper meaning to me than the so called civilisatory diseases. I already travelled a lot, worked in Thailand and India as a student and got in contact with many people who feel helpless against our politics and structures. I like to participate to get to know students and doctors from IPPNW, to get new energy to fight the daily fight to stay human in the medical system and to express my worries about the nuclear problems in public.
