A Gambian Nurse Fights Pain Without Pills
As the U.S. grapples with the opioid crisis, pain medication is in short supply in some other parts of the world. One nurse in the Gambia explains how she addresses pain with tools other than drugs.
Growing up in the Gambia in West Africa, Nadia Drammeh always knew she wanted to be a nurse. "My auntie was a nurse," she says. "I used to go to the clinic and see the way she works. I told her, 'I really want to be a nurse in the future!' So I've loved this job since when I was a child."
The 27-year-old graduated from nursing school in 2012 and has been a nurse ever since.
She now works at the Brufut health
