For students of medicine and those who practice in the front-line of medicine in Africa, this fully revised edition combines classical internal medicine with a rich understanding of the major influences on health and disease in Africa. It puts disease into the context of family and culture and is not afraid to address the effects of inequality on health and the problems of limited resources for health care. There is a much expanded section on non-communicable diseases as well as comprehensive accounts of HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other major infections in the continent. Forward-looking and evidence-based, this new edition reflects the emergence of new diseases and health risks in the region. Complied by the foremost international authorities, this is the one essential text for the medical student, medical officer, or postgraduate student wanting the most complete and up-to-date reference book on medicine in Africa.
MARTIN FAIR A wonderfully easy read...something of a rollercoaster ride! It draws you in...evocative, detailed and engaging. Excitement comes rushing off the page...as you see ‘God at work’ in Murray’s own life, and in so many places throughout the book. ALASTAIR PETRIE I strongly recommend ‘in search of THE HEALING PLACE’ for all leaders and all readers...a blueprint for life! Murray McGavin is clearly a champion for all people...in all nations. A treasure of medical skill...not only about physical sight, but also a compelling wake-up call for spiritual insight. A timely publication! SANDY MILLAR This is no ordinary biography!

A book very hard to put down! I wholeheartedly recommend it!

The World Health Organization’s ‘Global Leprosy Strategy’ timeline for Hansen’s disease elimination indicates that it will be encountered in clinical practice in endemic countries for at least another decade. Increasing north-to-south migration, global travel and overseas medical work mean that physicians in non-endemic countries will also encounter patients with Hansen’s disease, which can affect people for many years before diagnosis and after treatment.
