The hospital train helping Ukraine's sick and wounded


In Ukraine, Médecins Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders, operates a specialized train service to transport patients from hospitals in battle-torn areas of the country to facilities in safer regions. The train, which is outfitted with beds, generators for medical equipment, and an intensive care unit, has evacuated more than 1,000 people in critical need of treatment so far, including those with war-related injuries as well as chronic health concerns.
