The Good Karma Hospital

Tiger Aspect Productions for ITV

This series tells the story of junior doctor, Ruby Walker (Amrita Acharia, Game of Thrones), who arrives in India looking for a job and a distraction from her heartbreak. She anticipates the sunshine and picture-perfect beaches. She’s even prepared for the tuk-tuks and the Delhi-belly that everyone warned her about. What she doesn’t expect are the realities of work, life and even love at an under-resourced and over-worked cottage hospital.

Run by a gloriously eccentric Englishwoman – Doctor Lydia Fonseca (Amanda Redman) – the Good Karma Hospital is the beating heart of the local community. Held together by a hand-picked team of British and Indian medics who turn no one away – locals, ex-pats and tourists are all welcomed through its doors.

Life affirming and optimistic, this contemporary series mixes the heart-breaking with the humorous. The Good Karma Hospital is more than just a run-down medical outpost – it’s a home.

Also starring James Krishna Floyd (My Brother the Devil), Darshan Jariwalla (Million Dollar Arm), Sagar Radia (Babylon), Nimmi Harasgama (Doctors), Philip Jackson (Agatha Christie’s Poirot) and Neil Morrissey (The Night Manager).
