Doctor in Canada helps treat Syrians via online consultations

A doctor in the western Canadian city of Edmonton is helping save lives in Syria, from thousands of kilometres away.

“If they need my help, I’m available,” says Dr. Maher Saqqur, a critical care neurologist with Alberta Health Services.

CBC journalist Ioanna Roumeliotis talked to Dr Saqqur about how he helps patients from afar via the internet.
