Review Quotes:
"In this beautifully written book Iruka N. Okeke interweaves the problems of Africa, the history of infectious diseases, and her own life experience to make the compelling case that the near-total lack of basic laboratory diagnostic services continues to be a major cause of mortality and morbidity throughout that continent."
