About This Item
Bantam. 0. Softcover. Trade paperback. 340pp. Good. An inspiring story of one doctorâs struggle in a war-torn village in the heart of Sudan. In 2007, James Maskalyk, newly recruited by Doctors Without Borders, set out for the contested border town of Abyei, Sudan. An emergency physician drawn to the ravaged parts of the world, Maskalyk spent six months treating malnourished children, coping with a measles epidemic, watching for war, and struggling to meet overwhelming needs with few resources. Six Months in Sudan began as a blog that Maskalyk wrote from his hut in Sudan in an attempt to bring his family and friends closer to his experiences on the medical front line of one of the poorest and most fragile places on earth. It is the story of the doctors, nurses, and countless volunteers who leave their homes behind to ease the suffering of others, and it is the story of the people of Abyei, who endure its hardship because it is the only home they have. .
Synopsis
James Maskalyk practices emergency medicine and is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine.
