Moto Meds: Before the morning: Saving Lives Through Nighttime Intervention
Did you know that in low-income countries, there is only one doctor for every 10,000 people?*
Here are some other stats that will blow your mind:
50% of people across the globe lack access to essential health care.*
99% of maternal deaths happen in developing countries.*
Each day, 15,000 children die before reaching their fifth birthday.*
Some good news?
A lot of these statistics can be avoided, simply through prevention. And that is exactly what our guests today have been working on, for years. Not only have they been working on it, but they have also been SUCCESSFUL at it
Dr Eric Nelson and Molly Klarman, and their incredible team in Haiti and Ghana, have come up with an innovative approach to healthcare in some of the poorest places in the world
They are quite literally saving lives by bridging the gap between the onset of illness and access to healthcare with just a few hours, but the most precious hours, the hours from when a disease can go from bad to deadly.
How are they doing it? Join us today to find out
