A long and meticulously researched work of medical history, here is a gripping account of a mission hospital and its hope-giving work at the height of the HIV\/AIDS crisis. More than that, the authors paint a vivid picture of faith, politics, culture and globality and the utter humanity of those serving and being served inside a country struggling to find its place in the world. The book is unrivalled as contribution to the medical humanities in the first quarter of this century if only for its scholastic brilliance in being able to hold in tension living and dying, the local and the global, the state and missions, the organizational and the personal, all inside a cohesive and compelling narrative of a single institution on the east coast of South Africa. \" Jonathan Jansen, Distinguished Professor of Education, Stellenbosch University\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"Founded in 1909 by American medical missionaries and the remarkable local leader Katie Makhanya, McCord Hospital in Durban, South Africa, was built on an audacious vision of dignity, compassion, and healing for all, a vision it fiercely defended through apartheid's brutal machinery, political violence, racial segregation and economic hardship, quietly defying government orders and opening its doors wider when the world demanded it close them. When HIV\/AIDS tore through KwaZulu-Natal with devastating force, McCord answered with its most powerful humane defiance yet, establishing \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSinikithemba, a groundbreaking HIV clinic that wove together faith, science and community solidarity through support groups, international partnerships with Harvard and Yale, palliative care and community outreach. Sinikithemba's choir featured voices that carried survivor stories from the streets of Durban to the stages of Boston and beyond, raising millions and reaching world leaders. Sinikithemba is not merely the story of a hospital, it is a testament to what happens when faith, science and community refuse to surrender, and a powerful reminder that healing, at its most profound, is not a medical act but a deeply human one.\" Robert Trent Vinson, Director of the Carter G.
