A Catholic Doctor Helping a Million People in Sudan & South Sudan | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Sudan remains in political and economic turmoil, 6 months after the military staged a coup. Meanwhile, neighboring South Sudan is experiencing both severe food shortages and a rise in violence. Catholic Physician, Dr. Tom Catena, is the only surgeon for about 1 million people and works in a contested region between Sudan and South Sudan. He does missionary work as a medical director for the Mother of Mercy Hospital. Dr. Catena has been working in the Nuba mountains between Sudan and South Sudan for years. He gives us a picture of what life is like there. Dr. Catena tells us a little about what brought him to the Nuba mountains and how his faith guides his work. The doctor shares how the hospital has had an impact on health in the region and what keeps him going. Dr. Catena is in the US for much of April in part to raise money for a training center for medical workers. He discusses how he is working to grow health care access in the region.
