Mulligan, 29, and his wife, Nancy, 28, a physical therapist. “AIDS is a very, very serious problem there,” said Dr. Mulligan, a graduate of Notre Dame and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, who also worked in Kenya as a medical student. “ We saw a steady flow of AIDS patients in the hospital where we worked in Tanzania,” he ex­ plained. “ Fifteen out of every 100 people in that area have the virus.” Presently a staff physician at Broomfield’s Family Practice Associates, Dr. Mulligan and Nancy volun­ teered at a 250-bed hospital on the outskirts of the village of Sengerema in Tanzania. They were spon­ sored in their African work by the Diocese of Salt Lake City in Utah. “AIDS began in Uganda,” Dr. Mulligan said. “ Ug­ anda has been pinpointed as where the disease generated itself” Continued on page 9 Dr. Michael Mulligan checks an African mother and her newborn triplets In Tanzania.
