It’s a long way from Holles Street to the African Bush. But when Dr Harry Barry’s wife, Brenda, began to go into labour with their second child in rural Tanzania, the experience gained as a young medic in the Irish maternity hospital stood to him.
“The child wasn’t due until February of the following year but there were no scans or anything. Just before Christmas she went into labour,” he says.
