The Missionary
A young missionary named Renee Bach left her comfortable life in America to start a malnutrition program in rural Uganda. Folks back home and in Uganda praised her as a model missionary -- an example of the healing power of God’s message. But a decade later she’s accused of masquerading as a doctor and rumored to have killed hundreds of children in her unlicensed clinic. How did Renee Bach end up here? Is she a case of good intentions gone wrong...or a predator posing as a saint? Hosted and reported by journalists Rajiv Golla, Halima Gikandi and Malcolm Burnley.

Excellent and Informative
07/22/2023
This was an eye opening podcast. It made me really think about US missionary efforts and how well trained and educated you need to be for this type of work. I learned a lot and appreciated that they were really trying to get to the truth.
Mixed feelings

The story and storytelling is great. The ads are out of control. I went on a 7 minute ride and there were commercials over a minute long in the 7 minutes. That’s too much. I want to finish the story but I can’t with all the ads. At least put them at the beginning or end.
Blood transfusion info misleading
10/05/2023
In episode 4, they talk about how “blood transfusions we’re incredibly risky procedure” is only true if they are not screened correctly (type and screen blood test) and/or administered by a non-medical traded person (Renee). I do believe this podcast is out of the US, where blood transfusions are very much safe. A registered nurse will wait with you for the first 15 minutes of the blood transfusion (when a reaction is most likely to occur). After the first 15 minutes, the nurse will monitor you closely. Minor reactions such as low-grade fever or itching are somewhat common. And Tylenol or Benadryl can be given. But for the serious reactions, these are no common at all. I hope this doesn’t discourage someone who needs a transfusion from getting one.
Well researched

Excellent and thorough research but wish would have pressed Renee in the same way you pressed Kakai (sp?). Probably easier to ask difficult questions through an interpreter.
