A Doctors story in the Central African Republic with Katie Treble

Katie spent 6 months in one of the world’s most forgotten countries — the Central African Republic. In this episode, we sit down in person to chat about her experiences there working as a medical doctor with Doctors Without Borders. This is a story of people who have been ignored for too long — of grief, resilience, and what it means to show up in the darkest places. Her book, Field Notes from Death’s Door, is available wherever you get your books. It’s excellent, and I genuinely recommend you give it a read if you can.
