What does it look like to dedicate your life to healing children—and to do it with extraordinary skill, deep humility, and unwavering faith?In this episode of CURE Conversations, Liz Bohannon sits down with Dr. Emmanuel Wegoye, a pediatric neurosurgeon at CURE Children's Hospital of Uganda. Dr. Emma shares his remarkable journey from growing up in Uganda after losing his father at a young age, to becoming one of the country's leading neurosurgeons, helping care for children with life-threatening conditions like hydrocephalus, spina bifida, epilepsy, and brain tumors.Together, Liz and Dr. Emma explore the life-changing impact of pediatric neurosurgery, why early treatment can mean the difference between life and death, and how CURE Uganda has become a global leader in treating hydrocephalus. They also discuss the often-overlooked emotional and spiritual needs of families, particularly mothers who arrive carrying fear, stigma, and heartbreak.Most of all, this conversation is about calling. Dr. Emma shares how CURE's discipleship program transformed the way he sees his work—not simply as a profession, but as an opportunity to serve God and others through the gifts he's been given.Show Note LinksJoin Club CURE: https://www.cure.org/club-cureMore About CURE Uganda: https://uganda.cure.org/
