This graph, I both love and hate.

It shows the % of children in the world

that have got vaccinated against measles.

Measles is a deadly disease for children.

When I worked as a doctor

(I was a young doctor
in 1980 in East Africa)

there were so many children
dying of measles,

we couldn't save them.

Then vaccination came,

and in only 10 years here,

70% of the children in the world
were vaccinated.

But look:

From 1990 to 2005,
15 years of stagnation!

Now, in the last 10 years,

it's climbing, climbing.

What I love

is that 84%
of the children of the world

are vaccinated today.

But what I hate

is that there is still
this group remaining.

They live in extreme poverty

that can be ended in the next 30 years.
