Covid-19 in India: the rural hospitals struggling to cope

Newsday

Available for over a year

Our reporter visits a rural area in Uttar Pradesh where there's only one hospital to treat people travelling in from kilometres away. A former female Afghan mayor talks to us about three assassination attempts on her life by the Taliban - but says it’s not stopping her from standing for office. And Serbia has decided to offer $30 to persuade people to get vaccinated against Covid. Many have been sceptical about coming forward.
