Stephen McGann, popularly known for his portrayal of Poplar GP Dr. Patrick Turner in the acclaimed show, has lauded the transformative impact of the NHS, which was established 75 years ago, on the lives of children from working-class backgrounds. McGann said the NHS had been a driving force for improvement in communities,like the one he serves on screen in the BBC period drama set in the late 1950s and 1960s East End of London.
In an interview relaying on the show and the importance of the NHS, McGann remarked: "When Call The Midwife began with 1957, we still saw diseases like rickets and TB (tuberculosis) – diseases of poverty and lack of vitamins – as well as the deadly infectious diseases like measles, polio and diphtheria."
