Originally from Cardiff, Wales, Morgan has worked with the ICRC on physical rehabilitation projects around the world for nearly two decades.

One of his earliest missions was in 2005, when he arrived in Pakistan following a devastating earthquake. The ICRC was establishing an artificial limb and rehabilitation clinic and needed specialists to run it.

It was there that Morgan received a piece of advice he never forgot.

“A colleague of mine said ‘it’s our job to make ourselves redundant as quickly as possible.’ That was the best piece of advice I ever heard. As humanitarians, we’re there to help in emergencies, but we can’t stay indefinitely. We need to build resilience within the existing health systems so that projects can be handed over to local actors, whether it’s governmental authorities or the national Red Cross or Red Crescent society.”

“Since then, I’m always looking for efficiency and value for money. Because it’s not my money I’m spending – it’s that of donors. I have a responsibility to use it carefully.”
