Heard some new information about what the following verse is about....
Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by
This is a about Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi. Malawi is one of the poorest nation's on Earth. Bono was visited this hospital, and was shown around by Sister Ann Carr, of the Medical Missions of Mary. There is usually 300% bed occupancy, with two to a bed and one on the floor. In a recent radio interview Sr Ann spoke of how Kamuzu is a free hospital, and that those with money can afford to have their own bed in other hospitals - but not the poor. "The poor have no choice", she said. I can personally identify with this, having worked in Bugandu Medical Centre in Mwanza, Tanzania for a summer, and seen first hand how beds are filled with extra patients. I now work in a Dublin hospital, where people get upset about patients remaining on trolleys for too long - at least they don't have to share the trolleys.
