And following that, we started to do micro-planning. And we decided that, look the best way, I've already mentioned the conflict and peoples’ cultural barriers, and so on, I discussed all these things, we said we have to look for, we have to look for something that will break down these barriers. So, number one, we made a very strong case for more supply of abate [larvicide]. I must say, abate [larvicide] supply was——it is like giving someone a gun to go hunt, without giving him enough ammunition. The amount of abate [larvicide] we were getting was not, was not adequate. And people had to rush abate [larvicide], or they had to leave some ponds untreated. You know the Northern Region. Today there are plenty sources of water; tomorrow they are all dried up. First rains, plenty of them, but we were not having adequate amount of abate [larvicide]. A very strong case was made by our partners, by the Minister for Health himself, to The Carter Center, and we got an adequate amount of abate [larvicide]. I can tell you, it motivated the field staff a lot, because they told me. I don’t know whether you remember [inaudible]. One of them came and told me, look, we have saved them, because in the past they used to go to their colleagues and beg for a small allocation of abate [larvicide] just to use in the water sources, because abate [larvicide] was not enough. And any time they came we were running out abate [larvicide] for them. They said that was a very big motivation for them. Then the next thing we did was to identify the endemic villages and instructed our field staff: these villages are the most at risk, spend most of your time in those villages; visit them every day, visit them every week. Right? Visit them every week; if an active case comes up, visit that village every day, visit that village every day.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://globalhealthchronicles.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2845/collection_resources/132722/file/247503#t=2376.05,2503.278"},{"id":"https://globalhealthchronicles.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2845/collection_resources/132722/file/247503/transcript/69018/annotation/275","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eHILYER:\u003c/strong\u003e Try to keep it contained.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://globalhealthchronicles.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2845/collection_resources/132722/file/247503#t=2503.278,2503.982"},{"id":"https://globalhealthchronicles.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2845/collection_resources/132722/file/247503/transcript/69018/annotation/276","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eKORKOR:\u003c/strong\u003e Yes, and then, as much——if possible take the patient out of the community into a containment center.

The good thing about all this, the interesting thing, is you meet people from outside your own profession, you know? You meet people in the other sectors; Ministry of Water Resources, local government, education, and whatever. So, then you notice that it's not just being the health sector that matters. Taking care, taking——getting a healthy society depends on other sectors. I am very happy that we been able to work with the Ministry of Water Resources; we have been able to let them understand that it is because of their inaction that we have health problems, just using Guinea worm as an example. If there is no water, people get Guinea worm. If you don't maintain the environment, you get malaria. If you don't do this, you get this. So, we try to guide people to target their energies. If you are providing boreholes, use disease prevalence to provide the boreholes, not necessarily population. It's true that the people will put all of their water resources in Accra or Kumasi [Ghana], but who needs clean water? Is it not those who are having the water related diseases? So, we begin to, you know, work as a team——that we need to work together to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. As a matter of fact, Guinea worm, we have been able to convince people that the Guinea Worm Program, or the Guinea Worm Eradication Program——it affects all the eight goals, except maternal mortality. It has no direct affect on maternal mortality, but obviously it affects maternal health. Universal basic education? Guinea worm, children——I was down, and I didn't go to school for two weeks. I wasn't impressed about it; imagine a lot of kids who are down, and, you know, they cannot go to school. Food security, it has nothing to do with, with health directly, but Guinea worm and malaria and other things will affect the achievement of food security, which is under the Ministry of Agriculture.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://globalhealthchronicles.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2845/collection_resources/132722/file/247503#t=3155.36339,3291.108"},{"id":"https://globalhealthchronicles.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2845/collection_resources/132722/file/247503/transcript/69018/annotation/333","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eHILYER:\u003c/strong\u003e It actually spreads its fingers out very far.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://globalhealthchronicles.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2845/collection_resources/132722/file/247503#t=3291.108,3293.48199"},{"id":"https://globalhealthchronicles.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2845/collection_resources/132722/file/247503/transcript/69018/annotation/334","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eKORKOR:\u003c/strong\u003e Exactly.
