Coronavirus conversations: Anaesthetists

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Anaesthetists

We hear from three anaesthetists in different parts of the world.

We continue to bring together people facing the coronavirus pandemic with shared experiences. We hear the story of three anaesthetists in different parts of the world.

Also we report on the latest in India, as countries around the world have begun sending emergency medical supplies to help stem the Covid-19 surge there. However there are concerns about delays in supplying the aid to those most in need. We speak to a woman who has spent the last week trying to find oxygen for her sick husband. It’s one story among many in India’s second wave of coronavirus. 

And we’ll explain how temporarily removing patent restrictions on Covid vaccines could help global supply. The United States is now backing a proposal from India and South Africa.
