Acerca de esta escucha

 Every person has a calling from deep within, if they listen. Every person must live their own hero’s journey if they are to fulfil it. Anne Merriman’s life shines a beacon of light on how everyone can walk their own true path. Born and raised in Liverpool during World War II, Anne felt called to be a nun and joined the Medical Missionaries of Mary. After becoming a doctor and spending twenty years providing medical service to the less fortunate in Nigeria, Anne left the order and returned to the world as a layperson. Her journey had twists and turns, ups and downs, friends and enemies, and love and heartbreak. Her compassion for the less fortunate and suffering eventually led her into palliative and hospice care. Anne became an important palliative care pioneer in Singapore and Sub-Saharan Africa, receiving a Nobel Peace Prize nomination and founding a model of palliative care for all of Africa: Hospice Africa Uganda.

Anne Merriman’s epic adventures, forbidden love, outlandish flair, fiery nature and Godly pursuits will have the reader laughing and crying, while also finding pearls of wisdom that only the lens of hindsight can provide. May That’s How the Light Got In illuminate our own path as we all search for and live out our own meaning and purpose.

‘Anne has created a uniquely African template of love, dignity, care and compassion for people in the end stages of life. Her pioneering model of care reaches 90% of the districts in Uganda and is making its presence felt in Tanzania, Nigeria, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Malawi, Ethiopia, Sudan, Rwanda and Benin. The model is, by design, culturally and spiritually inclusive. It is an organic African, Ubuntu-centric approach to caring for the dying that could be used across the Mother Continent and beyond. There is no doubt that it is work that makes God smile.’ Archbishop Emeritus Desmond M. Tutu, 2018

‘A captivating journey of a super generous lady who is filled with compassion and a great spirit that shines brightly – lighting up the lives of others. Dr Anne’s simplicity, humility and joyful spirit has served and touched many, and through her tolerance and thoughtful actions she embodies the true essence of generosity, which has made a positive impact on the lives of many weak and less privileged across Africa.’ Queen Sylvia Nagginda, Nnaabagereka Buganda Kingdom

Dr Anne’s simple but ingenious formula for compounding morphine solutions not only revolutionised how we treat pain in Uganda, but it also transformed how we care for patients across Africa. She exemplifies the many phrases she taught us at Hospice Africa Uganda ... “attending to detail” ... “fire in the belly” ... “going the extra mile”. This is just who she is.’ Dr Eddie Mwebesa

‘Anne has been the single most motivating person I’ve ever met in my life. If you’d forgotten your “why”, she’d remind you of your purpose. She turned on a light that at that time was so close to being turned off forever. I could have floated through my career doing far less good. I wanted to chase that light. She provided the model on which I wanted to base myself and my practice.’ Dr Ged Faulks, UK

‘Anne was and remains an inspiration as I am called to service in palliative care. Only when I began full-time hospice work did I realise she had sowed early seeds within me. I am eternally grateful and feel blessed that our paths converged at pivotal points in my life, both personal and professional.’ Dr Chong Poh Heng, Medical Director,
HCA Hospice Care, Singapore
