[edit] Plot
The story is set in the year 2021, three years after the threat of GUILT had been eradicated and seven years prior the events of Trauma Center: New Blood. The Republic of Cotigar in Africa is a country that has been plagued by warfare for over a decade, and is finally on the road to peace. However, they still struggle with attacks by guerrilla militants, land mines, and many refugees. Despite this, the country is slowly on its way to becoming a peaceful nation. Countries around the world have been sending aid to the country, as well as building hospitals to help the people. However, they are very short on staff and need more to be able to take care of all of the patients.
Doctor Derek Stiles, along with his faithful nurse Angie Thompson, travel to Africa to one of the refugee camps called Zakara. The country is shorthanded of medical care, but Derek will find hope among new allies. However, a disease thought to have been eradicated in the past is now threatening to make a comeback.

[edit] Healing Touch
The Healing Touch is an ability, according to the ancient Greeks, descended from Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. Most frequently, it allows a surgeon to focus his concentration to superhuman levels in order to move extremely quickly and precisely for a limited amount of time, appearing to the surgeon that time has slowed. However, for some surgeons, such as Nozomi Weaver and Valerie Blaylock, it can be used to either maintain or manipulate vital signs when activated.
