To say Anne Merriman has led a remarkable life is an understatement. Her list of achievements is astonishing.
"But caring for the dying is the lowest priority in health, because doctors are trying to cure, not to care." Tragedy struck the family when she was 12. Her beloved brother, Bernard, who had recently gained top marks in the city's scholarship exam, died of a brain tumour, aged just 11. After leaving Broughton Hall School in West Derby, Anne trained as a doctor in Dublin and became a nun, joining the Medical Missionaries of Mary . With the MMM, she carried out missionary work in Africa and Asia, specialising in child health and tropical medicine. She left the order after two decades, after realising "God had other things I could do better."
