The Surgery Ship

In a harbor in Western Africa, a large cruise ship has moored. On it are dozens of skilled doctors, nurses and support staff. They are here to offer live saving medical help to people who will not get another chance. For one year there will be state of the art surgery available for free, but people will have to hurry its a once in a lifetime offer. At the end of the year, the ship will go.

Surgery commences for three children, years after they were severely burnt. It'll take months of therapy for them to get their strength back.

Two patients are treated for deforming facial tumours and, while treating a baby with a cleft lip, Dr Gary is reunitied with a former patient.
