Sanjivani - A Medical Boon was a Hindi television serial that was first aired on STAR Plus in 2004, and currently reruns on TV Asia channel in USA from November 3, 2007. A sequel to Sanjivani, Dill Mill Gaye, aired on Star One from 2007 to 2010.

Plot

Sanjivani tells a story about four medical interns (Juhi, Rahul, Simran and Omi). All of them have joined Sanjivani Hospital as interns when the serial starts. The serial tells the story of how these four come into a difficult and demanding profession. They have high ideals, passion, energy – and a degree of naïveté about their work. They bring a breath of fresh air into the hospital.

The story takes us through how these four doctors face the trials and tribulations in life to fight a constant battle against diseases and death of patients. The story is more like the tale of the lives of people who are regarded as miracle workers – but who are actually only human, with families, lives and emotions of their own.
