On this episode of Detroit Evening Report Weekends, we listen to the third story in WDET reporter Nargis Rahman’s series Shustho.
The four-part series explores the barriers Bangladeshi women face in accessing high quality health care, and efforts to bridge those gaps.
In this story, we visit the Health Unit on Davison Avenue (HUDA) — the largest free health clinic in Wayne County — to learn about the services it provides to members of the community without health insurance.
Stay tuned to DER Weekends throughout the month of May to hear the entire four-part series.
