Il bene ostinato

The "Medici con l'Africa" (Doctors with Africa) of Cuamm (Collegio Universitario Aspiranti e Medici Missionari), since 1950, have been dedicating themselves to the fundamental right to health and access to healthcare services. The encounter between Cuamm and Paolo Rumiz is the spark that gives rise to this book. There is a writer-traveler who falls in love with the project, travels to Africa and observes another Italy in action. He focuses on both women and men, not only doctors, who with their families decide to live and work in the villages and cities where Cuamm operates.

What are their stories? How has their life changed? What is the root of their commitment? It is an opportunity to investigate and tell a little-known world, made up of singular emigrants, professionals who uproot themselves from Italy with their families to transplant themselves in disadvantaged, often dangerous, always challenging contexts. These are particular stories, sometimes unique, that connect the North and South of the world.
