Nurses on The Frontline
Each year millions of people die because they have no access to basic life saving interventions. Globally, there is an estimated shortage of seven million health workers, particularly in rural areas and low-income countries. Virtually no region in the world is immune to its effects.
In this powerful series from BBC World's Frontline stable, the programmes follow the inspiring work of medics from Burma, Indonesia, Zambia, Bolivia and Mozambique
