Well, yes of course, it is aid.
And making sure also that this doctor can wash his hands before their next chirurgical intervention (is really so relevant to notice that is canadian, thus probably white?).
Doctors also need to go to the bathroom (is not so easy if you are a woman). Or clean itselves of vomit and blood after a hard day. Somebody need to assure that the volunteers have their most basical needs covered and can focus all his precious skills in doing the job (instead to just get ill and totally useless just 24 hours after their arrival). To study first the access to clean water and a way to avoid faeces spreading all around your clinic area and contaminating hundreds of wounded people is not corruption at all. Is to invest wisely your resources.
