BBC World Service - BBC OS, India Covid crisis: Patients struggle at home

We hear from Indians who are struggling to find treatment for their family members

Doctors in the Indian capital describe people dying on the streets as infections and deaths reach record numbers again for the fifth day. We hear from people who are forced to find ways to get treatment for sick family members at home.

We also bring people together in conversation to share experiences about health anxiety. They explain how the condition has changed their daily life and how they find it much harder to cope during the pandemic. We also look at the health care system in Myanmar since the military coup in February. 

And the film Nomadland has won three Oscars.  It's about a woman living in her van after the financial crash. We speak to people who live a nomadic lifestyle with no permanent home.
