Well I think everyday is a womans day, but today has been set aside specially to celebrate women and their achievements all over the world. Womens day is a very big deal in Africa! Today I am going to write about Florence Mirembe:
One of Uganda's leading doctors, she has spent her life trying to improve conditions for mothers giving birth. The facts are stark: about 585,000 mothers die a year in the developing world in childbirth - more than one a minute. Her work was recognized by the World Medical Association which named her as one of its Top 60 Caring Physicians. Dr Mirembe also set up Save the Mothers, a charity that fosters partnerships between scientists in the developed and developing world. She is an amazing woman of our times and is showing the world that African women can achieve greatness as well.
