Founded in 1950, Doctors with Africa CUAMM has been the first non-government organization focused on healthcare recognized by the Italian government.
This decade saw the beginnings of country programs and bilateral agreements between the Italian government and countries such as Uganda, Tanzania and Mozambique.
Doctors with Africa CUAMM had grown over time. There was now a need to find ways to become self-financing, and to let more people know about the organization and its objective: making free health care available and accessible to the world’s poorest.
