Unprecedented access was given to Channel NewsAsia inside the Children’s ICU at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

This five-part series documents life inside the Children’s ICU – the daily struggle of children as young as three years old, who have to fight for their right to live; the emotional turmoil this elicits in their parents and the men and women in white who stoically wage wars against life-threatening diseases, so these children can grow up.

In the first episode, a little girl contracts a dangerous bacterial infection; a little boy who was perfectly fine the day before now suffers from organ failure because of a mysterious illness and the common flu threatens the life of a girl with a rare genetic disease.
