## Resource

The British island of St Helena in the South Atlantic lies more than 1,000 miles from the nearest landmass. Recently, it's been gripped by scandal. When a surgeon arrived in 2015, he was meant to transform healthcare on the island. Instead, patients suffered catastrophic harm. So what happens when a dangerous surgeon arrives on one of the world’s most remote islands? The Surgeon of St Helena is an Audio Always podcast. You can listen to the whole series here. Host: Luke Jones Producers: Louisa Adams and Dave Creasey. We want to hear from you - email: thestory@thetimes.com Photo: Jon Tonks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
