Bridge Fellowship Sydney with Dr Andrew Browning
126 Phillip Street, Sydney
Registration is free
At the next meeting of the Bridge Fellowship in Sydney, we look forward to hearing from Dr Andrew Browning. You can join either in person or via zoom.
Andrew Browning is an Australian trained obstetrician who has spent his entire professional career volunteering in Africa as a medical missionary specializing in obstetric fistula surgery.
He has been involved in the care of over 12,000 fistula patients across Africa and SE Asia and is considered a world expert in his field. He was involved in establishing charities in Ethiopia and Tanzania to build and run free maternity hospitals for the poor, to prevent fistula and to train midwives in clinical skills. These charities and hospitals have overseen the safe delivery of over 100,000 women to date and trained nearly 1000 midwives in clinical skills. He co-founded the Barbara May Foundation in Australia to fund those hospitals.
Andrew advises the UN and WHO on fistula and related issues, and has over 60 scientific publications, books and chapters. He co-wrote the main fistula textbook with Brian Hancock which is distributed to all FIGO (International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics) trainees. He was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia for his services to international maternal health.
The Bridge Fellowship gathers and connects men around Australia to explore the intersection between life and faith. Open to all men regardless of their beliefs or background, we hear stories of adversity, courage, honesty, hope, failure and success.
Please join us in person for a light breakfast from 7am AEDT. We will conclude by 8:30am AEDT.
This session is also available online. If you are joining online, please be ready by 7:25am for a 7:30am AEDT start.
