1. Both are TVB anniversary dramas on the medical professionals.
2. See Kenneth Ma in his inaugural role as a doc, and also as a pediatric doc in The Last Breakthrough 17 years ago in 2004.
3. Heartwarming and meaningful moments with the patients, and among colleagues-friends.
The Last Breakthrough is a gem for medical drama on medical professionals volunteering as doctors without borders at feudal, resource- and disease- stricken Africa providing medical humanitarian assistance for the needy locals, plus helping and not just treating patients back from mission.

Both are emotional medical dramas that focus not only on treating patients, but also on the people behind each medical case. The patient stories often go beyond the illnesses themselves, exploring their lives, families and personal struggles.
Both follow teams of doctors handling different cases, with plenty of emotional and heartbreaking stories along the way. They also explore doctor-patient relationships, personal growth, difficult medical decisions and what it means to be a good doctor.
They're quite different in focus though. Kids' Lives Matter centers on pediatrics and tells many of its stories through children and their families, while Doctor John focuses mainly on pain management, death and medical ethics, with a stronger focus on romance. Kids' Lives Matter also has more of an ensemble cast, with all the doctors getting plenty of screen time to explore their own storylines and personal struggles.
Despite the heavier themes, both have plenty of warm and healing moments.
