Denis Mukwege+ FÖLJDramatisk way to NobelprisetTorsten Kälvemark reading a biography on the advice of Denis MukwegeBOKRECENSIONER

When Denis Mukwege receives the Nobel peace prize in Oslo today, should I send a thought to Majken Bergman and Ingrid Åkerström , the two Swedish women who meant a lot to him.

Berthil Åkerlund has written a biography of Denis Mukwege – the Nobel peace prize laureates 2018

Majken Bergman saw to it that he as a newborn and critically ill received care at the right time. Ingrid Åkerström asked later in his life up as financial guarantor for an important medical training in France.

Both women was linked to the pentecostals in mission in the Congo. Majken was a teacher and Ingrid midwife. If no one knew it before you will testify the relationships between them, and Mukwege about the role that the Swedish and Norwegian missionaries played in his development into a compassionate doctor. With christian ethics as a guide, he has taken on women during war and lawlessness have been subjected to gross sexual violence.

Denis Mukwege tells in this book about her life with Berthil Åkerlund as a listener and nedtecknare. It will be a partly dramatic history of living in a country where civil war and corruption has been destroying and where the colonial tracks never really died out.

The multiple award-winning kvinnoläkaren does not mince words when it comes to portray the opposition he sometimes faced on the home front. When he 2008 received the united nations prize for human rights in New York city was the hall full of international diplomats, but no representative of his own country appeared in the crowd.

In a later meeting with the president Joseph Kabila he feels the governments disinterest to discuss the problems surrounding the situation of women in the kivu province or to support the work on the now world-renowned panzi hospital in Bukavu.

critical observations and dramatic events are pages in this book that slightly touches on the söndagsskoleberättelsens dramaturgy. It can be lenient with. Denis Mukwege and medical mission in the pentecostal churches still deserve all the honor and glory for his work in mankind, and in particular the vulnerable women, the services.
