That Nemam Ghafouri was born in a cave might be one of the least remarkable things about her. It was the 1960s, and her mother went into labor in the mountains of what is now the Kurdistan region of Iraq as she was fleeing with her other children from Iraqi government forces.
Like tens of thousands of other victims of Saddam Husseinâs campaign against the Kurds, the family sought refuge in Iran before moving to Sweden as refugees. Ms. Ghafouri went on to study medicine in Sweden and in Hungary and become a cardiothoracic surgeon. She participated in aid missions in India and Ethiopia. Then she returned to Iraq to help Syrian refugees flooding across the border to the Kurdistan region.
