Michigan is home to the third largest population of Bangladeshis in the U.S., with a significant number living in the metro Detroit area.
Bangladeshi immigrants struggle with several challenges when trying to access health care. Among them are language, cultural competency, and adequate insurance.
As part of a new four-part series called, “Shustho: Mind, Body, and Spirit,” WDET’s Nargis Rahman reports on how Bangladeshi women in southeast Michigan are overcoming cultural barriers. She joined The Metro on Monday to discuss the series.
