Synopsis

Many people want to help make the world a better place, but don’t know where to start.
Often times, all it takes is an inspirational example.
The grandson of an Italian immigrant and blue-collar father, Dr. Darius Maggi was inspired by his familial mentors to put others first.
Beginning his medical career as a small-town Oklahoma physician, Dr. Maggi built a huge practice in North Central Texas, then moved on to making the world a better place through healing the poorest of the poor.
Spending most of his time and effort in Sierra Leone, Dr. Maggi has focused his energy on eradicating Obstetrical fistula – a severely debilitating consequence of extended labor that no longer exists in countries where women have reliable access to safe, modern healthcare.
Dr. Maggi’s experience serves to remind us that a life of real meaning, purpose, and gratification can only come from unselfish giving.
All profits from the sale of this book go to the support of the West Africa Fistula Foundation.

About this title

About the Author

After a successful 22-year career as an OB/GYN, Dr. Darius Maggi founded the West Africa Fistula Foundation in 2004. He currently spends much of his time and mission with a focus on Sierra Leone, where he brings help to women who don’t otherwise have access to safe, modern healthcare. Dr. Maggi credits his Italian immigrant grandfather and his blue-collar father as the source of his selfless dedication in the service of others. 100% of the proceeds of Basta! go toward support of the Foundation’s goal to establish proper treatment and care for this devastating condition.
