https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-63465558?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGAA doctor who spent 30 years on the frontline in war zones, refugee camps, and disease outbreaks has returned from his final humanitarian mission.
Tony Redmond, 70, has delivered aid amid gunfights in Sarajevo and during the Ebola outbreak in west Africa.
He recently spent two weeks in Ukraine, which was his final aid assignment ahead of his retirement from UK-Med.
Prof Redmond said it had been "an unbelievable privilege to help people when they're in such need".
The doctor, who is a professor at the University of Manchester, began his career at Wythenshawe Hospital.
Troubled by the lack of emergency at the scene care across the region in the 1980s, he formed the South Manchester Ambulance Accident Rescue Team (SMART) in 1988 .
The team helped train medical staff in emergency care and acted in support of the rescue and ambulance services in Manchester.
