Nakamura Tetsu —A Respectable Doctor
　Nakamura Tetsu helped many people/in Afghanistan and Pakistan.// Sadly,/he was killed in 2019,/but he is still loved and respected/by people there.//
　In 1984,/Nakamura was sent to Pakistan/as a doctor/to provide medical care/for leprosy patients.// He also visited camps/for refugees from Afghanistan.// In Afghanistan,/he opened many clinics.// He improved access to medical services/for local people in need.//
　Nakamura’s contribution was not limited/to the medical field.// When a terrible drought hit Afghanistan,/many people died of diseases/caused by water shortages.// He decided to build irrigation canals.// He even learned/how to operate heavy machinery.// He often said,/“One canal/is worth more than 100 clinics.”//
