Along the Amazon River with no access to modern medical care

▶️Jungle M.D.

Thousands of indigenous Brazilians live in remote villages scattered along the Amazon River with no access to modern medical care. Government support is scarce. But one of the country’s top neurosurgeons, Erik Jennings, decided to take it upon himself to fill this gap. His family has lived on the Amazon for generations, and he pays ‘house calls’ to these isolated tribes out of a sense of affinity with the native peoples that live in the rainforests along the river.

Watch Jungle M.D. (2017) about the doctor, one of the few allowed to visit and cure the remote tribe.
