South Africa's traveling 'health train' offers rare free care to many

A passenger train transformed into a mobile health facility is offering care to communities in need across South Africa. The train, known as Phelophepa — or “good, clean, health" in the Sesotho language — circulates the country for much of the year, providing medical attention to the sick, young and old who often struggle to receive the care they need at crowded local clinics.
