00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.919
...Ebola virus from previous outbreaks.

00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:06.500
The current outbreak started with?

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.400
Thousands of people got infected

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.039
by the Ebola virus in the outbreak
in West Africa

00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.109
because it started
in the most remote part

00:00:17.109 --> 00:00:18.600
of the three countries,

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.440
here where the three countries meet.

00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.160
There was no health service at all,

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.000
so the patients were treated

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.359
by a traditional healer, a herbalist.

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.560
When she died and people
came to her funeral,

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:34.419
they got infected at the funeral.

00:00:34.419 --> 00:00:37.079
They went back to the three countries

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.640
and it started to spread
in all directions.

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.439
Had there been health service
in those remote areas,

00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:46.840
it would have been stopped much earlier,

00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.759
and that's how it is
in remote parts of rural Africa.

00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.799
Look, this is the district
in rural Africa.

00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.799
About 100,000 people live there.

00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.119
It has a river that cross it like this.

00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.359
There's a road that crosses the river,

00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.159
and that's the district capital.

00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.760
The people in extreme poverty
without health service,

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.120
they live here in the corners.

00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.419
So it's not enough that 90 percent

00:01:09.419 --> 00:01:12.000
have access to some basic health service.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.760
Every person has to have access
to health service!

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.500
That's how you end extreme poverty,

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:21.290
and that's how you stop Ebola
right at the start.
