In 85/86 Dr Maudarbocus was working as Emergency doctor for the Exxon group ( USA) for their oil drilling projects in Chad,Cameroon,Central Africa. A unique experience in the remotest areas of the planet with an exposure to tropical medicine, emergency medicine ( the nearest hospital facility being 800 kms from the drilling sites!!) During this period there was a severe drought around what is now called the DARFUR area in west Sudan and Dr Maudarbocus joined hands with MSF ( Medecins Sans Frontieres ) to help save lives in these difficult times when malaria, yellow fever and dysentery were taking a huge toll among the famine stricken victims. This experience marked him profoundly and he developed an active interest in humanitarian and medical rescue activities which have shaped his career so far.
