The Angina Monologues By Rosamund Kendal(Jacana)
|
Three newly qualified doctors, Rachael, Nomsa and Seema, are sent to do a year’s community service at the Prince Xoliswe Hospital in rural northern KwaZulu-Natal. Indifferent towards each another at first, the girls soon bond amidst the chaos of a government hospital, where lack of medical resources, 24-hour shifts and corruption are standard. A brave, insightful and powerful depiction of the issues facing the healthcare sector in South Africa. |
