RAISE to Host Screening of BBC Documentary Grace Under Fire featuring Grace Kodindo
On November 23, RAISE will host a screening of the BBC documentary Grace Under Fire. The documentary features the work of Grace Kodindo, MD, Chadian OBGYN and assistant clinical professor of Population and Family Health at the Mailman School of Public Health.
Dr. Kodindo has fought to save lives in ill-equipped maternity wards in her native Chad in Central Africa for many years. While Dr. Kodindo has treated women suffering the effects of neglect, her experiences never prepared her for the real-life stories of inhumanity, lack of critical reproductive healthcare, and sexual violence she hears from those caught up in the long-running conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) featured in Grace Under Fire.
