James McIntyre, an obstetrician gynecologist at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa, introduced himself with an odd fact. "This is supposedly the largest hospital in the world, with 3300 beds," he said. "We're in the 1997 Guinness Book of World Records . It's not something we're terribly proud of. It's because this is the only hospital that serves Soweto. It's a leftover from apartheid." McIntyre and his colleague Glenda Gray offer free anti-HIV drugs to every infected pregnant woman who visits the prenatal clinic they help run.
