Episode 017: From Medicine to the Fight Against Human Trafficking | Dr Katherine Welch

In this episode, Dr. Mollie James welcomes Dr. Katherine Welch, a board-certified pediatrician who took the road less traveled—leaving behind traditional medicine to serve in a bush mission hospital on the Thai-Burma border. There, she treated refugees, stateless individuals, and patients with no access to modern medical technology. But her mission didn't stop with medicine.

Dr. Welch also became deeply involved in the fight against human trafficking, exposing the disturbing realities of sex slavery in Southeast Asia. She shares her firsthand experiences with the pervasive culture of prostitution, the trafficking networks that exploit women and children, and the ways she worked alongside on-the-ground organizations to intervene.

🔥 This episode is a must-watch for those passionate about medical missions, global health, and the battle against human trafficking. What can Western medicine learn from frontline doctors? And how can we fight the global epidemic of modern-day slavery?
