Nagy
Barbara was appointed in January 2004 to serve in Malawi. A specialist
in internal medicine and pediatrics, Barbara is assigned to serve
as a physician at Nkhoma Hospital, an institution of the Church
of Central Africa Presbyterian, Nkhoma Synod.
This isn’t Barbara’s first appointment to serve as
a physician in Africa. She was a mission co-worker in the Democratic
Republic of Congo (then known as Zaire) from 1989 to 1993. “Soon
after becoming a Christian,” Barbara writes, “I felt
God calling me to mission. It’s both an expression of my
faith in Christ’s salvation and an expression of God’s
love for all. I feel privileged to be a Presbyterian because of
the church’s rich heritage of mission and also because of
the many missionaries I have known who have nurtured and inspired
me in my faith.”
Barbara holds an M.D. from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia,
and a bachelor’s of science from Oral Roberts University
in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She also has a degree in tropical medicine
from the Prince Leopold School of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp,
Belgium.
Prior to her appointment to Malawi,
Barbara worked in family practice in Glen Alpine, North Carolina
(1995 to 2003) and at Cannon Memorial Hospital in Banner Elk,
North Carolina. She served in Tuba City, Arizona, and Rosebud,
South Dakota, from 1986 to 1989 as a physician with the Indian
Health Service. |
