Summary: Yet again the Jungle Doctor is in the thick of a battle for people's lives. There is so much that good medicine can do to tackle injuries and disease yet local customs and superstition are causing problems. So much so that the hospital staff are actually held back from saving a woman's life!
The doctors and nurses have to work in poor operating conditions, with very limited equipment and drugs, but despite everything other lives are saved! However, sometimes it seems that everything is going wrong: especially when the old hospital car continues to break down. When the car becomes past repair the only thing that Paul White can do is to pray that God will supply a more reliable vehicle. Throughout it all the Jungle Doctor and his staff know that God answers prayer!
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.
