AMBULANCE -- AFRICAN STYLE
TANZANIA--A litter strapped to two bicycles served as an ambulance
for this Africa emergency patient being examined by Sister Marian
Jan, a physician at Tanzania's Kowak Hospital, operated by the
Maryknoll nuns. The former Marion Puszcz of Yonkers, N.Y., Sister
Marian Jan has served in Maryknoll's Tanzanian missions since 1957.
Before entering the religious order she specialized in obstetrics and
gynecology at Albany (N.Y.) Hospital. Her busy days at the Kowak
mission include many maternity cases, as well as emergencies.
Scattered in various parts of the world, the Maryknoll Sisters
include, besides doctors and nurses, catechists, teachers, and
domestic, social service and office workers.
