Long Road from Quito

Meer over het boek

David Gaus's journey from accounting student to medical doctor showcases his commitment to improving healthcare in rural Ecuador. Co-founding Andean Health and Development with Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, he pioneered a transformative approach by building two modern hospitals to serve communities lacking access to medical facilities. These hospitals, staffed by local professionals and financially self-sustaining, offer training through a Family Medicine residency program. Tony Hiss captures Gaus's vision and impact, making this narrative compelling for a diverse audience interested in health, development, and Latin America.
