Summary: The continual stream of sick and injured patients coming to the Mvumi hospital in Tanzania never stops; they all need help from the Jungle Doctor and his team. Lions and hyenas are just two of the potential killers faced on a daily basis, but it is often the smallest creature of all that is the most deadly. The infamous little dudu carries the hidden but real danger of disease and infection. The Jungle Doctor and his team have their work cut out for them as they tackle meningitis, leprosy and other diseases. However, it's not all tragedy and trauma at Mvumi Mission Hospital. There is laughter and fun as well. It's just that very often in Africa each new day brings joy and sadness, love and loss - but with the love of Jesus Christ there is always hope.
Message: Interwoven throughout the adventures and dramas of the book is the message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and the need to live for Him.
Other: Originally published in 1942 as the first book in the Jungle Doctor series under the title of Jungle Doctor.
