Czech doctor in the heart of Africa

En savoir plus sur le livre

Step by step the author describes his volunteer work in the Central African Republic at the turn of the millennium. Neighboring Congo, Chad and Sudan, the poor and isolated State is a politically unstable country tossed about by homicidal wars. For a year, Doctor Drlik worked at a Carmelite mission in the Central African Republic in the middle of the bush. Facing a constant lack of medical supplies and primitive conditions, he served as the natives' surgeon, gynecologist, internist, birth assistant and pediatrician all in one. He became a celebrity among the city of Bozoum's inhabitants. His extraordinary experience is portrayed in this book. The publication will surely capture the attention of readers of travelogues, as it describes the uncommon experience of exploration in exotic countries and the exceptional people that inhabit them. Readers interested in the volunteer work of doctors, humanitarians, journalists and missionaries may find the book valuable too. Marcel Drlik, M.D. currently works in the Child Surgical ward of Thomayer Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic.
