Suffering and Smiling

Focusing on the challenges of impoverishment in Africa, this work uses the patient-physician relationship as a model to explore the continent's health issues. It delves into major diseases, including the impact of HIV/AIDS, and assesses the challenges faced by various African states and institutions. By likening societal issues to the human body's systems, the book provides a unique perspective on the continent's health crises and the broader implications for its development in the new millennium.
