Ignaz Semmelweis – The Persecuted Medical Pioneer

Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis was a Hungarian doctor, now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. Described as the "saviour of mothers", Semmelweis discovered that the incidence of puerperal, or childbed fever, could be drastically cut if doctors washed their hands before delivering babies in maternity wards. However, he was ridiculed and persecuted for his discovery and died an outcast. This program tells his amazing yet tragic story and shares a message of hope for us today. 📚 The free booklet to this episode "Discover Study #6 – A Second Chance at Life": 📚 https://tij.tv/offers/a-second-chance... 💿 Similar Topics: 💿 Florence Nightingale: The Lady With The Lamp    • Florence Nightingale: The Lady With The Lamp   Dr Graeme Clark - Sound from Silence    • Meet Prof. Graeme Clark - The Visionary Be...   https://tij.tv/playlist/medical-pioneers 🇦🇺 About the Ministry 🇦🇺 The Incredible Journey is a donor-funded ministry passionate about communicating our bold vision of sharing the good news of Christ and preparing people for the soon coming of Jesus.
