'The Muslim Mother Teresa' Huffington Post Imprisonment.
Mutilation. Persecution. Edna Adan Ismail endured it all - for the
women of Africa. Edna saw first-hand how poor healthcare, lack of
education and ancient superstitions had devastating effects on
Somaliland's people, especially its women. When she suffered the
trauma of FGM herself as a young girl at the bidding of her mother,
Edna's determination was set. The first midwife to practise in
Somaliland, Edna became a formidable teacher and campaigner for
women's health. As her country was swept up in its bloody fight for
independence, Edna rose to become its First Lady and first female
cabinet minister. She built her own hospital, brick by brick,
training future generations in what has been hailed as one of the
Horn of Africa's finest university hospitals This is Edna's truly
remarkable story.
