Good Karma Hospital

An under-resourced community hospital located in the fictional coastal town of Barco, in the real state of Kerala, south India. It was set-up at least 25 years ago by Virginia Mileham, who was usurped by her protégée for undisclosed professional reasons. It is now nominally run by Dr Ram Nair and administered by Dr Lydia Fonseca. Other regular staff are surgeon Dr Gabriel Varma and Sister Mari Rodriguez when new recruit Dr Ruby Walker joins. Lydia has already chased away several doctors before the series starts.

In series 3, two new regular characters are added temporarily, Nurse Jyoti Gill and Dr Aisha Ray. Another two doctors replace the absent Gabriel and Aisha in Series 4, experienced British Samir Hasan and local trainee Nikita Sharma. There are several other support staff, including ambulance driver-turned-orderly AJ Nair and unnamed people in the background. The building is like another character, bringing the cast together. The hospital has a minimum of 10 assigned areas: The most prominent wildlife on the site is monkeys living in the trees and Lydia throws stones at them [ EP1.01] for amusement. The outdoor waiting area also has a seating area and food stall nearby. It is possible that roses grow on-site.
 * admissions waiting room
 * assessment lobby area
 * female ward
 * male ward
 * casualty/X-ray
 * scrub room
 * prep/operating room
 * staff room
 * senior staff offices
 * amenities: shower room / toilets / various store rooms

The building has modern communications with landline phones, on-call mobiles and Wifi internet, which Ruby uses at the on-site accommodation. The roof of this bungalow has holes in it and leaks in the first monsoon of the year. There are also issues with the running water, especially for the outdoor shower. It is filmed at a teacher training college in Unawatuna, Galle district, Sri Lanka.
