Hardship and Hope - Dr. Naa’s Love Affair with Persons Living with HIV and AIDS details the inner-workings, struggles, and commitment of the International Health Care Center (IHCC) and the West Africa AIDS Foundation (WAAF), based in Accra, Ghana. The IHCC is a clinic devoted mainly to persons infected with HIV and AIDS and works closely with the foundation WAAF. The book focuses on the life experiences of the medical director of the clinic, Dr. Naa Ashiley Vanderpuye-Donton, and her husband, Eddie Donton, the Chairman of WAAF and the founder of both organizations. This book is unique in that it explores not only the clinical aspects, but also delves into the personal lives of the husband-wife duo and their struggles to keep both the clinic and foundation alive. It also includes the stories of other major staff as well as patients and clients that have made a lasting impression.
