Description:
Innovation helps us save lives. In this episode of MSF Pulse we look at how MSF is constantly working to develop new and innovative ways to deliver care to people who would otherwise be cut off from essential health services.

Script:
Making sure that our help reaches those who need it most can be a daunting challenge due to countless obstacles.

Many times obstacles we face are logistical: Like how can we treat patients in places where there are no roads to take us to them?

So we are constantly working to develop new and innovative ways to deliver care to people who would otherwise be cut off from essential health services.



In Nigeria, we have found ways to monitor for malnutrition cases using mobile phones.

In Papua New Guinea, we have collected patient samples using drones.

In Nepal, we used an inflatable hospital to treat earthquake survivors.

We also launched an ambitious telemedicine program that allows isolated field doctors to connect with specialists from around the globe and treat more complex cases.

We also played an essential role in several critical vaccine and other medical research trials, including efforts to develop an Ebola vaccine based on the knowledge we gained from working on the front lines of West Africa’s Ebola epidemic in 2015.

We've also developed a special fund dedicated to developing solutions to some of our most critical challenges.
