Sam Tarry MP is the twentieth British Member of Parliament to formally nominate the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade for the Nobel Peace Prize. Sam was elected MP for the London constituency of Ilford South in 2019.
In support of his nomination Sam said:
“The key principles of the Henry Reeve brigade are health, peace, humanitarianism and solidarity, and since its formation in 2005, Cuban health workers have provided relief in emergencies regardless of politics or borders, treating almost four million people in 45 countries. Notable recent examples include the doctors who worked in West Africa during the Ebola outbreak in 2014.”
Sam said
"I congratulate the medics of the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigades who have travelled across the globe in response to requests for help during this pandemic. I support the call for them to be awarded the Nobel peace prize as a fitting recognition of their amazing humanitarian work."
