Inside a mobile OB/GYN clinic

The interview explores Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari's transition from a traditional OBGYN practice to establishing a mobile gynecology clinic in an RV, aiming to provide accessible reproductive care to underserved communities. Dr. Afsari discusses the increasing restrictions on abortion access and the implicit racism within the healthcare system, which motivated her to create a more patient-centered and welcoming environment. She recounts a specific case involving a teenage girl with a congenital anomaly, highlighting the cultural and ethical complexities she navigates beyond medical expertise. The conversation also delves into Dr. Afsari's family history, particularly the tragic death of her grandmother due to an unsafe abortion, which profoundly shaped her commitment to women's reproductive rights.
