Since Dorian, the island of Grand Bahama relies on a mobile, inflatable hospital complex.

Duane Sands, the Minister for Health, explains that since it was struck by Dorian, the island of Grand Bahama has had to rely on a mobile, inflatable hospital complex, flown in by a US-based organization called Samaritan’s Purse. It has been set up next to the damaged hospital that used to serve Grand Bahama’s main town.
