Narrative

The story

Six Days to Become a Team is a character-driven medical graphic novel following healthcare professionals from different countries as they help open a new hospital in the Gulf — and learn to become a cohesive team.

Job offers, first shifts, language barriers, difficult decisions, unexpected friendships, and the human moments that never appear in medical reports.

Not a textbook. Not a superhero narrative.

A warm, authentic story about healthcare, communication, migration and finding one’s place far from home.
