Dumo Jeena, a one-year old boy with malaria, gets a hug from his mother in the Wau Teaching Hospital in Wau, South Sudan. His mother walked for five hours to bring him to the hospital the day before, where his temperature spiked to over 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). He lapsed into unconsciousness as the hospital staff cooled him down and injected him with an anti-malarial drug. Thanks to the care he received, the boy survived.
