The series profiles “a day in the life” of the dedicated, but overworked doctors, staff, and nurses at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, located in the township of Soweto near Johannesburg, South Africa. Known as Bara by the locals, it is the world’s largest hospital and serves a community of five million people. Each episode follows the committed staff as they deal with the health and social issues plaguing the community, from HIV/AIDS to crime-inflicted injuries.
