Several hours southeast of Abidjan, the nation of Côte d’Ivoire's capital city, lies the Ayame General Hospital where two doctors are fighting every day to make a difference for people infected and affected by HIV.
Dr. Jeanne Mbo and Dr. Annie Diokouri spend much of their time visiting local villages to provide an assortment of health care services to people who are in need but cannot afford the high transportation costs to get to the hospital, and at local orphanages providing pediatric support to children.
