Dr. Ruth Ngema

Dr. Ngema is the black, female doctor who is the head of the hospital. Her medical skills and eyesight are weakening, but her pride is not. Dr. Ngema insists on being the primary surgeon, often at the expense of her patients. She has been at the hospital for many years, waiting for a promotion to a better facility. Her hospital is being looted right under her nose yet Dr. Ngema she does nothing to stop it because the equipment is not being used anyway. Dr. Ngema just wants to survive her time at the hospital long enough to get transferred somewhere better. She insists that she favors change and progress, yet she consistently rejects any change until Laurence's first clinic is a success. Dr. Ngema then she realizes that the clinics could be a boon for the hospital and she backs his new idea.
