Life Saver



Today we take you to Kenya to tour a brand new maternity clinic in Matisi village in Kitale, Kenya. Here 1 in 16 women will die either in pregnancy or in childbirth. We visit with Physician Assistant and Maryknoll Lay Missioner Kathleen Dunford, currently serving as the Clinical Officer at St. Raphael's Health Center. On the day we visited, Kathy and her right-hand woman, "super-nurse" Edna, would bring the clinic's baby number 7 into the world.
