'We are a healing profession, we do not maim or kill'

"We are a healing profession," said Prasad Rao, chairman of the British International Doctors Association. "It shocked me to hear that a doctor could remotely be connected to the people who are trying to kill and maim people for no reason. Whatever the doctor's race, colour or creed, it is a totally appalling thing to do.

"A doctor's duty, even if he finds an injured terrorist, is to give medical help. You never knowingly help or assist an individual to kill and maim others. You take the Hippocratic oath and you do not discriminate on the basis of colour or gender or religion."
