Extract

Friends of the ICRC will be sad to learn that Dr. Roland Marti, former ICRC Chief Medical Officer, died in Geneva on 9 November.

Dr. Marti joined the ICRC in 1936 and devoted his whole career to helping suffering humanity. After the Spanish Civil War, during which he worked in extremely difficult conditions, he went to Germany, to head the ICRC delegation in Berlin. He was appointed head of the Medical Division in 1946 and later head of the Relief Division, and played an important role in all the major ICRC programmes of action after the Second World War, particularly in the Middle East and in Asia.
