Hello Dr. Browning
I am a global project manager for the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) and we are just starting a project in the Tabora Region. My colleague, David Quinlan, who worked with you in Ethiopia with fistula repair, recommended that I contact you and make my introductions. Perhaps our paths will cross…
Please pass on my greetings to Dr Browning – he is a dear friend and God fearing man – I knew him just two weeks ago did some fistula surgeries at our new Maternity Africa kivulini centre Arusha with him and it was amazing, Praying for his work, family and ministry.
Regards
Dr Francis Mollel.
Dear Andrew,
