Henry Marsh is one of Britain’s foremost neurosurgeons. He first went to Ukraine in 1992. There he met a young neurosurgeon, Igor Kurilets, with whom he has worked since, performing state-of-the-art procedures with second-hand surgical equipment.

In the first of two articles, journalist Maxine Boersma and photographer Ty Faruki travel with him on his journey
