2018 Nobel Peace Prize winner: Denis Mukwege from DR Congo

Congolese gynaecologist Denis Mukwege is known as "Doctor Miracle" for his ability to repair through reconstructive surgery the horrific damage inflicted on women who have been raped.

The 63-year-old Congolese gynaecologist set up the Panzi hospital in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city of Bukavu nearly 20 years ago - shortly after he had his first experience of treating a woman who had been raped and mutilated by armed men.

Dr Mukwege recounted the horrific injury the patient had suffered in a BBC interview, saying the woman had not only been raped but bullets had been fired into her genitals and thighs.

He, along with his colleagues, have since treated tens of thousands of victims.

Panzi hospital now cares for more than 3,500 women a year. Sometimes Dr Mukwege performs as many as 10 operations a day.

This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Denis Mukwege. The Committee that awards the prize has said Congolese Dr Mukwege is the "most unifying symbol" of the international effort to end sexual violence in war. Mukwege has treated thousands of victims of rape in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and has repeatedly condemned governments for not doing enough to stop sex abuse.
