My first guest on this podcast is Dr Geolain Rust, a trauma doctor in South Africa. She gives us a peek into some of the challenges she faces amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and how precious patients really are to the health workers who care for them.
South Africa is no stranger to infectious disease. Turberculosis, Malaria and HIV are prevalent in rural communities. In fact, South Africa has the highest population of people living with HIV in the world. What happens when Covid-19 is added to the mix?
