Series of books about Mvumi Hospital, Tanzania, and the Australian Doctor Paul White.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<blockquote>
Dear Doctor,
I am writing to tell you that your Roger died of
meningitis yesterday, while he was being carried into
hospital. He had tried to walk in to us, but collapsed
on the way, and when his relatives had finished
haggling with the porters over the sum to be paid for
his transport, it was too late...
</blockquote>
I handed Daudi the letter. The sun had gone behind
the hill, and it was rapidly growing dark. I saw a figure
hurrying down between the church and the village
school. It was [Roger's fiancee] Nora. Daudi saw her, too.
'Let me tell her, Bwana.'
But she needed no telling. She looked at us with
anguish in her eyes.
'We will see him again, but not in Ugogo,' he said,
gently.

to give a fuller picture of African life with its problems,
challenges and action. These incidents from the lives
of jungle doctors became radio scripts which in turn
were shaped into Jungle Doctor books...."
