DER Weekends: 'Shustho' series explores how cultural awareness among health care professionals impacts Bangladeshi women

On this episode of Detroit Evening Report Weekends, we listen to the second 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 the second story, we meet several Bangladeshi American healthcare professionals working to provide culturally competent care to women in their community.   Rahman explores how culture, relationships and education affect how Bangladeshi women experience treatment.

Stay tuned to DER Weekends throughout the month of May to hear the entire four-part series.
