Patient Story: Doctor Maggi

Medical Facility: West Africa Fistula Foundation (WAFF) Location: Bo, Sierra Leone Surgery Outcome: Successful

One of our young female patients had a tubal pregnancy and was bleeding profusely internally as a result. If we weren't there, she would have surely died. Fortunately, the surgery was successful. She is now home, reunited with her family and in very good shape!

It’s funny that I didn’t like Obstetrics and Gynecology in Med school because of the professors. But when I went in General Practice before specializing, I really enjoyed delivering babies and doing some surgery. It’s generally a very happy time in one’s life. Subliminally, I probably chose this field because when I was young my Dad would tell me how he wished he would have had a Mother because she died from pregnancy complications at home when he was very young. Maybe I wanted to make sure this didn't happen to other children.
