He has received the Nobel Peace Prize as a national president of Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres, MSF). On March 29, Urbani, ironically as the very first doctor discovering Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), was killed by the mysterious virus in a remote hospital of the Far East. Doctor Without Borders: Portrait of Carlo Urbani documents his remarkable life stories by including contents of manuscripts, interviews, and letters, in an attempt to honor Urbani’s memories in every way possible.

好評推薦

　　Dr. Carlo Urbani practiced the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ “to love God and love your neighbor,” which made himself a legend of a devout Christian. He further inspired many to serve those who were suffering from illness, poverty, grief, and hunger. This chain of love confirms the gospel of John: “Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.” (John 12:24–25)—Dr. Chen Chien-Jen (陳建仁), Vice President of Taiwan

　　Carlo Urbani, a physician devoted to the work endowed on him and sacrificed with the highest dignity, a hero in our life and a teacher for the generations to come. —Dr. Peter Chang (張武修), Ombudsman, Control Yuan, Taiwan
