Join us for a conversation with Dr Andrew Browning AM,who is an Australian-trained obstetrician and gynaecologist who has worked as a Christian missionary in Ethiopia and Tanzania for more than 17 years as a senior fistula surgeon. In 2009, he founded the Barbara May Foundation, which provides access to caring and knowledgeable maternal health professionals who treat all women with patience, respect and cultural sensitivity in Malawi, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Chad, Uganda, Congo and Togo. The primary focus of BMF-funded programs is safer childbirth, the delivery of live babies, and mothers not dying or injured during childbirth. The majority of programs focus on women living in rural areas and among poorer communities, and are provided free-of-charge to those in need regardless of race, religion or financial capacity. Dr Browning also undertakes extensive work treating women suffering from obstetric fistula injuries which is estimated to be approximately two million in Africa.
