Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

Dumo Jeena, a one-year old boy with malaria, gets cooled down by a nurse wiping a wet cloth over his fevered body. His parents walked five hours to bring him to the Wau Teaching Hospital in Wau, South Sudan, where his temperature spiked to over 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).

Shortly after this photo was taken, he lapsed into unconsciousness as the hospital staff tried to cool him down and injected him with an anti-malarial drug. He was also anemic. Thanks to the care he received, the boy survived.
