A vaccination center in the outskirts of Padua managed by Cuamm with the AULSS 6 and the Diocese, created within a broader Covid-19 response program, where the effort, in Italy and Africa, is to bring prevention and treatment to all on the strength of the contribution of volunteer staff.

There are many people“on the margins”of our society: immigrants and others including homeless people, adults, and foreign minors waiting for their administrative application to be accepted.As the Covid wave hits, itis these people who are left behind: not only economically,but also forgotten by the prevention and vaccination campaigns.

One thing that Covid-19 ought to have taught us by now is that no one can save themselves alone, but we're in a kind of “health nationalism” in which the stronger countries are trying to protect themselves first and losing sight of the fact that only by sharing and making vaccines and patents accessible can we achieve shared protection.

Researchers have long been interested in maternity waiting homes, but few have studied their effectiveness. This study evaluated how their use cut the perinatal mortality rate in half at the Wolisso hospital in Ethiopia. These important results confirm their value and support policies for their implementation.

South Sudan has chosen to join the global effort to vaccinate its population for Covid-19. But there are many critical issues: it is not enough to just have the doses, they must also be managed logistically and administered correctly to the population. There is a lack of funds for the implementation of a massive campaign, making the role of NGOs such as Cuamm crucial to bridge the existing shortfalls.
