In Africa

The organization actively operates in 9 sub-Saharan African countries (Angola, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda) with long-term healthcare cooperation projects, within a framework of social inclusion. CUAMM cooperates with Africa in hospitals, peripheral health centres, villages and universities working alongside local people.

CUAMM’s action focuses on health system strengthening and targets the weakest population groups, particularly women and children. Interventions include prevention, screening and treatment programmes on several diseases; creation or strengthening of referral systems at community level; training of doctors, nurses, midwives and other professional providers; field research.

Doctors with Africa CUAMM has also launched a project in support of faith-based congregations working on the front line of health service delivery in sub-Saharan Africa. CUAMM believes that FBOs need to be supported and included in local health system strengthening interventions, through respectful engagement, training, capacity building programs and collaborative research. To date, 150 FBOs disseminated across 26 countries are being supported, for an overall number of 173 health facilities benefiting from the initiative.
