Remembering the remarkable life of Sr. Dr. Miriam Duggan
Irish nun Sr. Dr. Miriam Duggan, who died on 9th August, represented the very best of the Irish missionary spirit, devoting her entire life to society’s most vulnerable and forgotten people, and using her considerable skill, intellect, and compassion to deliver the highest standard of medical care to those most in need.
As a qualified medical doctor, surgeon and gynecologist, she worked for many years in Uganda and Kenya saving lives and helping mothers during and after pregnancy. She trained countless doctors to provide similar high quality care. Among other things, she also played a pivotal role over the years in treating and caring for people with HIV and related illnesses.
A remarkable and courageous woman, Sr Miriam never shied away from making her views known in the media. Her unwavering pro-life witness was marked by credibility and conviction, as she tirelessly urged governments to focus on strengthening maternal healthcare instead of advancing abortion.
During her life, she also served as a Regional leader and Congregational Leader of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa (FMSA).
A proud native of Limerick, Sr Miriam passed away in Mount Oliver Convent, Dundalk, Co Louth. We extend our sincere condolences to all her Sisters in the FMSA, her family and friends, particularly those whose lives she touched in Uganda and Kenya.
