Disaster zone innovators
Hospital trains and robot medics.
In the midst of a crisis, sometimes the solution you need isn鈥檛 obvious. Today we meet the inventors who found fascinating fixes amid the chaos and destruction of disasters.
We visit the hospital that was painstakingly constructed inside a train, to treat Ukrainian civilians in a war zone.
We follow a team in Fiji who have created a mobile workshop, designed to travel to remote villages after natural disasters and repair and make items on the spot.
Finally we look at a medical robot that could soon treat injured people in places it鈥檚 too dangerous for human rescuers to enter.
