KUALA LUMPUR: Dr Muruga Raj Rajathurai was visiting Warsaw, Poland, early this month when he unhesitatingly answered a call of duty to serve as a medical volunteer at a centre sheltering Ukrainian refugees in the city.

The Malaysian doctor had volunteered at the Warsaw Central Station for 11 days, providing medical care to thousands of Ukrainians who crossed into Poland to escape the incessant bombardments by the Russians in their homeland.
