Audio TranscriptAuto-generated

  1. Hi. My name is Stephanie Edmonson in my presentation is
  2. on. What does the future hold for the health care
  3. in Pakistan?
  4. A little bit of background.
  5. Thousands of Children lack access to life saving immunizations because
  6. of poverty.
  7. With as many as 170,000 doctors from Pakistan working abroad
  8. or for private facilities, there is lack of health care
  9. options for the poor.
  10. Pakistan offers no incentives for doctors to stay.
  11. Many of the deaths that happened in Pakistan are from
  12. unsanitary conditions, Um, diarrhea, being one of them, that we
  13. have easy access to things like Pepto Bismol, but that
  14. they have no idea what that is or even how
  15. to treat it.
  16. Um, the diarrhea is also caused by, of course, unsanitary
  17. conditions in Pakistan.
  18. To survive, they need access to clean water and sanitation.
  19. Health care reform.
  20. Health care reform means to put or change into something
  21. else. Modern technology has improved and will continue to improve
  22. the lives of people all over the world.
  23. Even in Pakistan, that has more than 70% of population
  24. living below poverty level.
  25. Of course, everyone has a cell phone.
  26. Um, even in Pakistan, because of this new technology.
  27. Telemedicine, which everyone has gotten familiar with during Covid, is
  28. growing. See Hat K R E may not mean anything
  29. to us, but to the people of Pakistan, it can
  30. mean the difference between life and death in 2017, Doctor
  31. so far and Kirra um, created along with Microsoft and
  32. many supporters, a new telehealth, telemedicine software and facility sits.
  33. It's deception they have, um, they have 1500 registered female
  34. doctors and 100 community staff employed at about 25 health
  35. clinics across the country.
  36. This gives women and Children the population safely and securely
  37. because no men are involved in their care.
  38. It also does not feel were third traditions, um, see
  39. hot can our can Kaha Lani has changed the way
  40. Pakistan look at health care.
  41. Because of their efforts, even the poorest of Pakistanis can
  42. receive health care.
  43. If you would like more information on this, you can
  44. go to either you can email them or you can
  45. use this link in your browser and be able to
  46. look up and read the story.
  47. It's got some very good information on there.
  48. The front, my final thoughts.
  49. Um, healthcare is changing all the time and many diseases
  50. have been cured.
  51. However, with covid happening, it's sad to say how many
  52. people die because of not having proper necessities during this
  53. time. Now, add to that lack of clean water and
  54. sanitation. Many non profits go into Pakistan when there's a
  55. crisis. However, all of these doctors are volunteers and they
  56. try to help in any way they can.
  57. With a new system.
  58. Pakistan may just have a fighting chance to help their
  59. people become healthier and have a happier future.
  60. These are my were excited.
  61. Thank you for watching.
