Inside the Floating Hospital Helping Flood Victims in Bangladesh | National Geographic

[Music] Bangladesh is actually learning how to adapt to the impacts of climate change faster than any other country in the world because the impacts are happening here, and we're having to deal with them out of necessity.

Emirate Friendship Hospital started in 2008. We usually choose the Chore, where the people are more, at least more than 2 or 3,000, and the catchment area, the people can come from other Tore easily.

We are in a miking program, and also, we meet with the local stakeholders and the local leaders especially, and we just announce them, and our ship will come within these days. Usually, in a year, we choose six places to move. We provide medicine, we provide all types of lab tests, theological tests do here, and also the consultation fee, rest fee, everything is free of cost.

Foree, fore number, fore for whenever we go to CH area, we usually see this type of ladies all around in the chore. They are malnourished and having one or two babies on her lap. They also have te imas body. You can just identify these are the people who just migrate here and there for this reason.

Government cannot establish any permanent infrastructure to support them, just like a school, just like a Community Health Clinic. Because whenever the health clinic is established, within 5 years, it goes into the river. It's a problem.

We are not a rich country; we are also a poor country developing. For this reason, it also hampers the health problem. It is a gift from Allah to them just because they have no money to treat. They have no, yeah. But this ship carries all the things.
