An Italian physiotherapist who has been working in Afghanistan for 27 years, and who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010, talks to Hugh Sykes about his work.

Alberto Cairo is head of the International Committee of the Red Cross orthopaedic centre in Kabul, where they make artificial limbs for victims of bombs, mines and road accidents.

He tells Hugh that at the centre they do not differentiate between patients "in this place you have soldiers, you have former Taliban, but in the medical field you must not make any difference, everybody is the same"
