A public health nurse, a registered nurse and two nursing assistants are the members of the army of nurses who have been battling for patients at the Public Health Skin Clinic/National Leprosy Control Clinic over the years and for them it is a war that is worth fighting.
Public health nurse Wendy Bowman, who has been the clinic for over 20 years and is considered the ‘mother’ of the nurses, registered nurse Mandia Alli and nursing assistants Cheryl Barry, a retiree, and Sherlock Castello all entered the nursing profession at various times, but are united in working to help their patients, sometimes becoming their friends.
