Eugène Jamot, a doctor in the colonial army, was an extraordinary fighter for health in Equatorial and Western Africa in the 1930s. It was Jamot who overcame sleeping sickness in Cameroon. At the same time, a cabal organized against him. It interferes with private interests. It doesn't matter. Driven by the passion of his profession and compassion for suffering populations, the doctor does not tolerate any hindrance to his mission. It came into conflict with the colonial administration, which was more concerned with the interests of the powerful than with the fate of the natives.
