Sudan has recorded only 32,000 cases of coronavirus infections and just 2,300 Covid-19 related deaths so far. It is also rolling out vaccines. But the numbers are thought to be much higher and host Nuala McGovern hears from three women living in the capital, Khartoum, about how their experiences of family and friends dying differs greatly from the official Covid-19 figures. The losses they are witnessing is due in part to the inability of Sudan鈥檚 health system to cope.

We also return to intensive care units in the UK, US and South Africa to hear from the specialist doctors who are responsible for patients on ventilators and pain management. Three anaesthetists come together to discuss their changing roles during this pandemic and the emotional toll of often being the last person to have physical contact with a patient - and sometimes a colleague - who dies of Covid-19.
