Series of books about Mvumi Hospital, Tanzania, and the Australian Doctor Paul White.
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…
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.

Letter from the Author[2]
"These stories are factual, but events are often superimposed 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...."
