Dr. Simon Bryant is a Canadian physician from Canmore, Alberta,
who will serve as one of two doctors on board the MY Phoenix, a
search-and-rescue boat that Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without
Borders (MSF) is launching this month in response to the growing

Dr. Bryant talked recently about how the Phoenix will find ships in

drowning, while others talk about fixing the causes for their optimistic
despair," he says
