A brand-new ferry bearing the name of beloved Australian gynaecologist and obstetrician Catherine Hamlin arrived yesterday in Sydney Harbour from Hobart, where the ship was built. Catherine Hamlin is the first of of six prominent Australians whose lives and achievements will be celebrated on new ferries coming into service next year. The new ferries are sure to make known to a wider audience the name and work of inspiring Christian doctor Catherine Hamlin, who will turn 93 in January. Obstetric fistula is an entirely preventable childbirth injury, unknown in the Western World, that causes horrendous internal damage. When Catherine met her first obstetric fistula patient, she was deeply touched by her plight.
