From the Ted Talk by Andrew Bastawrous: A new way to fund health care for the most vulnerable

Unscramble the Blue Letters


This deep ssnee of iujsintce drove me to become a doctor, eventually an eye surgeon, and in 2012, my wife and I packed our bags and moved to Kenya to try and give something back. We srtetad by setting up a hundred eye clinics across the Great Rift vlelay, where we met people like Mama Jane and Theresa. We founded a new oatogiinzarn cellad Peek Vision, a social enterprise where we built smartphone technology that makes it possible for people in the community to find peploe in their homes, the most vulnerable groups who are being missed, and created new tloos that made it easier to diagnose them and connect them to services. Inspired by the challenges I'd had as a child, we equipped tehrceas, 25 of them, with smartphones to screen crldiehn in schools. Our first program resulted in 21,000 children being screened in just nine days. That same program was replicated to reach 200,000 children, covering the entire district. Soon we were able to repeat this in six new programs in different countries.

Original Text


This deep sense of injustice drove me to become a doctor, eventually an eye surgeon, and in 2012, my wife and I packed our bags and moved to Kenya to try and give something back. We started by setting up a hundred eye clinics across the Great Rift Valley, where we met people like Mama Jane and Theresa. We founded a new organization called Peek Vision, a social enterprise where we built smartphone technology that makes it possible for people in the community to find people in their homes, the most vulnerable groups who are being missed, and created new tools that made it easier to diagnose them and connect them to services. Inspired by the challenges I'd had as a child, we equipped teachers, 25 of them, with smartphones to screen children in schools. Our first program resulted in 21,000 children being screened in just nine days. That same program was replicated to reach 200,000 children, covering the entire district. Soon we were able to repeat this in six new programs in different countries.
