The hospital by the river

The hospital by the river

John Little, Catherine Hamlin

About this book

From Google Books: "Gynaecologists Catherine and Reg Hamlin left Australia in 1959 on a short contract to establish a midwifery school in Ethiopia. Almost 50 years later, Catherine is still there, running one of the most outstanding medical programs in the world... until the Hamlins began their work in Ethiopia, fistula sufferers were neglected and forgotten-a vast group of women facing a lifetime of incapacity and degradation. Catherine and Reg have successfully operated on almost 30,000 women, and the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital, the hospital they opened in 1975, has become a major teaching institution for surgeons from all over Ethiopia, Africa and the developing world."
