As we shared with you last month, Dignity:Liberia has two nurses experienced in midwifery. Both are dedicated to the healthcare profession. This month we want to introduce you to nurse midwife Patricia Kollie.
Patricia’s faith and compassion, combined with a love of science and an interest in women’s issues, resulted in her becoming a nurse and midwife. Born in Bong Mines, Bong County, Liberia, Patricia is one of 8 children; she has 5 brothers and 2 sisters. As a child, she enjoyed playing kickball, which she continues to play as an adult.
While in high school, Patricia loved science. It was during the 9th grade that her interest was piqued in violence against women. When her English teacher asked the students to select a topic to present to the class, Patricia chose this as her topic. After she graduated from high school, she noticed that the demand for midwives in her community and county could not be met. This prompted her to pursue a career in healthcare, specializing in midwifery, hoping to make an impact in the health sector.
Patricia always had a dream to become a midwife. She prayed for success in school in order to pursue her dream. The most meaningful experience for her as a midwife is to render services to pregnant women and have a good outcome. She particularly likes aiding them during the difficulties of pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
