Part One: HEALTH AND HOPE: THE MAKING OF A DOCTOR
AS PART OF ITS MISSION TO CARE FOR THE UNDERSERVED AROUND THE GLOBE, MARYKNOLL CONTINUES TO ASSIST THE PEOPLE OF TANZANIA TO ADDRESS THE LACK OF QUALITY MEDICAL CARE VIA SEVERAL HUMANITARIAN PROJECTS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. TODAY WE TAKE A LOOK A UNIQUE PROJECT LEAD BY FR. MIKE SNYDER IN THE TANZANIAN CAPITOL OF DAR ES SALAAM. WHILE SERVING AS THE CHAPLAIN AT MUHIMBILI HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL SCHOOL, DAR ES SALAAM’S LARGEST, FR. MIKE HAS BEGUN TO BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE MANY CATHOLIC MEDICAL STUDENTS IN ATTENDANCE THERE. MEDICAL STUDENTS WHO ONE DAY HOPE TO BE PART OF THE CHANGE THAT IS SO NEEDED IN THEIR HOMELAND.
Part Two: HEALTH AND HOPE: THE MAKING OF A DOCTOR
SO WHAT EXACTLY DOES IT MEAN TO BE A "CATHOLIC" MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL? AS FR MIKE'S MEDICAL STUDENTS AT MUHIMBILI HOSPITAL SEE IT, BEING A CATHOLIC DOCTOR IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT KIND OF MEDICINE YOU PRACTICE, BUT HOW YOU PRACTICE IT. THESE STUDUNTS DON’T SEE THEIR PROFESSIONALISM AS DOCTORS BEING COMPROMISED BY THEIR FAITH, IN FACT THEY SEE THEIR FAITH AS BEING A COMPONENT OF THEIR PROFESSIONALISM. AND AS THEY VISIT THE HOSPITAL WARDS AND GET TO KNOW THEIR SICK PATIENTS PERSONALLY, IT IS THEIR FAITH THAT GIVES THEM THE STRENGTH NEEDED TO SUCCEED AND SERVE.
