The organisation as now reached a total of 739 surgical operations and 1,600 beneficiaries. On 3<sup>rd<\/sup> April 2013, the doctors Koldo de P\u00e9rdigo and Luis Manuel Renedo performed the first operations, an emergency appendectomy and two gynaecological procedures, at the Ramiro Figueira Hospital on Sal. Five years on, the MSCV Programme, Charitable Doctors in Cape Verde, has turned into what is without doubt one of the most important and necessary medical services for the local residents, with around 900 consultations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/6-Africa-Avanza-otorrino-en-Cabo-Verde-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/6-Africa-Avanza-otorrino-en-Cabo-Verde-2-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/6-Africa-Avanza-otorrino-en-Cabo-Verde-2-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/6-Africa-Avanza-otorrino-en-Cabo-Verde-2-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/6-Africa-Avanza-otorrino-en-Cabo-Verde-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/6-Africa-Avanza-otorrino-en-Cabo-Verde-2-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/6-Africa-Avanza-otorrino-en-Cabo-Verde-2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This non-profit organisation, which RIU Hotels &amp; Resorts supports, is made up of 72 volunteers specialising in a range of fields of expertise. These professionals, who have broad and certified experience, offer their services as a charitable and selfless contribution, each taking care of their own expenses and receiving no payment for their work. For this reason, in 2015, RIU started offering free stays to all the volunteers in every mission, roughly ten times a year. In this way, the hotel chain contributes to the doctors\u2019 well-being over the course of their intense work on the island.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Medico-solidario-ONG-Africa-Avanza-Cabno-Verde.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"590\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Medico-solidario-ONG-Africa-Avanza-Cabno-Verde-700x590.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Medico-solidario-ONG-Africa-Avanza-Cabno-Verde-700x590.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Medico-solidario-ONG-Africa-Avanza-Cabno-Verde-250x211.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Medico-solidario-ONG-Africa-Avanza-Cabno-Verde-768x648.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Medico-solidario-ONG-Africa-Avanza-Cabno-Verde-120x101.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The main aim of \u00c1frica Avanza, over the five years it has been present in Cape Verde, has been to make an effective contribution to improving the health and well-being of the Cape Verdean residents, relieving waiting lists for operations and thereby reducing the negative impact of transferring patients to hospitals on other islands or even to Europe, and also resulting in savings for the patients and their families.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG-20180222-WA0003.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG-20180222-WA0003-700x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG-20180222-WA0003-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG-20180222-WA0003-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG-20180222-WA0003-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG-20180222-WA0003-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG-20180222-WA0003.jpg 1012w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the MSCV Programme, Charitable Doctors in Cape Verde, has facilitated the dissemination of practical knowledge and medical and surgical techniques to the country&#8217;s health professionals, resulting in savings for Cape Verde\u2019s health system and the INPS.
