Doctors with Africa CUAMM is one of the 53 NGOs reaching the final at “Saving Lives at Birth: A Grand Challenge for Development”, a yearly event where NGOs and international charities can present their innovative and sustainable approaches to improve mother-and-child health globally.
On March 23 at the UN headquarter in New York, during the 61st United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, a conference will be held organized by Doctors with Africa CUAMM in partnership with Italy and Canada’s permanent missions to the United Nations.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, TB programmes rarely include NCD screening, but a project in Angola is proving it can be done with great success.
Training has always been an essential part of CUAMM’s activities, as can be inferred from the words of Professor Dal Lago.
A delegation of Italian and Norwegian research workers recently visited Beira Central Hospital and sites where Doctors with Africa CUAMM is working.
CUAMM attended the Second National Paediatric Congress of Mozambique to follow the proceedings at close hand and observe the development of best practice for protecting children’s health.
October saw the launch of a new project in Angola to address the problem of malnutrition. This project considers nutrition in a community context, with particular emphasis on mothers and children aged under five.
October was a big month for our work on nutrition, full of both technical meetings and awareness raising events to present what CUAMM is doing to fight malnutrition.
