About this listen
Including a preface by HRH The Princess Royal, Princess Anne.
The Australian doctor saving the lives and dignity of thousands of women in Africa, one surgery at a time.
From Ethiopia to Sierra Leone, Tanzania to Togo, Dr Andrew Browning has been helping women affected by obstetric fistulas - a debilitating condition resulting from obstructed childbirth - for nearly two decades. Andrew began his African career in the 1990s working with the late Dr Catherine Hamlin and since then has started the Barbara May Foundation, which has built hospitals, trained staff and established programs to heal fistulas and also prevent them from occurring around Africa in the world's most disadvantaged women.
Two million African women are estimated to be suffering with obstetric fistulas. They are often made outcasts in their own community, unable to leave their homes and left with little prospect of a happy, fulfilling life. Andrew's operations, and the spread of fistula-skilled surgeons he is training across the continent, don't just relieve the emotional and physical pain of the women affected, but give them hope and a future. A Doctor in Africa is the uplifting story of Andrew's life, from the challenges faced along the way to the stories of the women whose lives he has forever changed.
100% of the proceeds received by the author from this audiobook will be donated to the Barbara May Foundation.

"Andrew's compassion for the women of Africa will inspire and uplift you. Written with warmth and enormous empathy, this book will make you cry - often with tears of joy - and on turning the page have you laughing out loud. A Doctor in Africa is a masterpiece in compassion, sensitivity and caring." (Dame Ann Gloag DBE. Founder, Freedom from Fistula)
"Andrew Browning's deep compassion and wonderful surgical skills have given new life to thousands of mothers suffering severe, often horrific childbirth injuries. This Australian doctor has dedicated his life to helping women in Ethiopia, Tanzania and right throughout Africa and beyond regain their dignity and place in society." (Dr Robert Tong AM, Chair, Hamlin Fistula Australia)
"Through Dr Browning's astonishing work, countless women shunned even by their own communities are healed, and rivers of tears are turned to laughter and joy. You will cry, you will weep, you will be aghast, but ultimately you will thank God for people like Andrew Browning. Read this if you want your heart broken, then sewn back together richer and pumping with gratitude." (Canon Tim Swan, CEO Anglican Aid)

I laughed, cried, learned & grew through this book
Written in such an easy-to-follow manner. Narration was well done, appropriate and with an easy to listen to tone.
Loved the honesty in all Dr Andrew Browning shares - the joys, the insecurities, and the hardships.
Appreciated the warnings before the couple of stories that may be difficult for some to cope with.
Praise God for how He has used Andrew and Stephanie's faithful obedience for so much good, and for His glory.
