A special about the Friends of Fiji Heart Foundation, a team of kiwi Indo-Fijian doctors who provide life-saving heart operations in Fiji.
17 operations in total, 3 surgeries a day. Everyone is working shifts. The inadequacies of the Fijian health system. We follow one patient through her operation and recovery. A visit to a village to see how the locals live.
One man talks openly about the effects of poverty on their health. Locals protest against tax increases, which worries even the Health Minister. This makes the friends of Fiji Heart Foundation even more important.
Credits from this episode.
