Indian Hospital Revisited – Web Extra 2

Narayana Health’s new, radical approach aims to train nurses to function on par with doctors.

Al Jazeera first brought you the story of Narayana Health in 2012 – a hospital on the outskirts of Bangalore, India’s third largest city.

Narayana is a place where both rich and poor Indians come to seek affordable medical care, something almost non-existent in a country of over a billion people.

As part of our continuing coverage of the facility, we have returned to India after two years.

This is a web exclusive report of Narayana’s unique nurse intensivist course, which aims to elevate nurses to function on par with the hospital’s doctors.
