People are walking from their village to the nearest road or to a point where a helicopter is able to take their injured people. We see people here who have walked for seven days before they could reach a hospital. For us the challenge is to reach out and make sure they have access to the health system. That is the challenge. If you wait until they see a doctor, they risk developing competitions that will lead to amputation or competitions of the situation. That is the challenge. Genie is anything being put into place to help the people psychologically from the trauma . Brice yes.
