world health summit welcoming thank you for your time so thank you and so what is your government doing to prevent mothers and babies from dying due to lack of proper health care conventions do you know. what it last 3 years do you seen tremendous improvement in general things that we do and we are getting better indicate is not. improved quite a lot but in child kidney and you found mortality for example. about 56 years but with c. inclusive 111. every 1000 now we're doing around $46.00 which is close to the future value of mention about now i have told you country have significantly over the last 3 is one of country lives is that our traditional hospitals were not designed to kill children especially natives

elites now we have made a policy that is pushing off us that it is to be creating these specialized units for infants sufficiently new needs to be taking care of so things are improving we have increased the number of midwives an increasing number of misses even doctors richelieu to peace i mean publishing is significant lee increasing at the moment and that is what is helping this move forward to see if you can achieve what you should be a chief ok this story means a lot to be done that's for sure and now i got as a nationality sure i was going is highly indebted and underfunded why does it seem so difficult to explore opportunities just as the in the program because it is headed now i think you think we have improved again in that area we can to harry 12 months of it really is that it is speak we have just about 4 months of indebtedness louis to form releases from plans close by a big end of the year we should have seen to have come on like with just the money

did 3 start to treat but reus there are still servers or writers that out that are complaining that number also crazy here between may absolute now we have done a lot we have completed something but around september we got some massive releases that we have been using to peel off providers are going to have done quite a lot of harm to you if you buy that the country will win more than 4 months in the wrist as i speak now how comes you never were. we will now take a look at their reports which highlights some of the major health problems facing people and especially where all areas of cover. dr ino ugh bet is a she and his colleagues a setting off to give medical care to people on an island in the vast lake volta it's a risky venture. you know what are we have a lot of stumps. supplying the boat it will to hit the stumps and the cup size.

the doctor and his team will be treating fishermen and their families mortality rates among women and children here are well above the country's average childbirth and malaria other biggest killers anal comes here in his free time normally he works at a hospital on the mainland. the boatman familiar with the water is still is the vessel safely through the partially submerged hazards. after an hour's journey the team arrives the island is home to nearly 20000 people you know he's their only doctor and he can only visit every few weeks there's our clinic. for our new clinic. he can't always see all the patients in a single visit. patients a trio of to outside the clinic 1st inside tends to the ones in greatest need many

of them pregnant women. hopefully now he's better equipped to treat them. just a few days earlier the government sent him to do a crash course on how to perform complex dynaco logical operations at a hospital down river in battle or. a lack of highly trained specialists in ghana means general practitioners like enough are expected to fill the gap. doing historic follies that's a very white house feel. that we have to live through that 34 lose it all in the back of our station spew. evil woman hemorrhages after giving birth a hysterectomy is often the only way to save her life or have a knock encountered this once in the far north east of the country but couldn't save the new mother. if you knew that if i knew the skills i have now i'll go out of state

a life. that. most highly skilled medics are drawn to ghana's few big cities and more than half seek work abroad where opportunities and wages a better battle is feeling the effects of this brain drain. back on the island in like volta inox already managed to treat more than 40 patients mixdown is 3 year old versioning he has a high fever and is so weak he can't walk. if one of. the rapid test for malaria is positive to. let others know woman isn't everything and that's a dangerous side so for now we would take that in the wards to. we in with ali that are here otherwise that's how the world would rule that out. the intravenous infusions the child urgently needs are only available on the

mainland but he'll have to wait a little longer to get them. by late afternoon you know he's treated movement 60 people for of is the time ran out and i have to wait until his next visit. to the vote for weeks from now jane managed to get through the last few hours and is now being taken for malaria treatment at a knox hospital they leave just in time. the boatmen can easily spot the stumps in the water but it's getting dark a by the minute when they reach the mainland will finally get to the hospital where he not thinks he has a good chance of recovery. that report was thrown a while ago i spoke this morning with dr i believe stacey who told me that challenges remain the same after you know what god is how administer quite smart meaning so clearly a high precision doctor ratio what is your government doing about this we have

actually graduated about 300 new doctors from cuba do go to internship and raid medical exams medical and dental exams to get this that is to practice by december we have added on to the numbers we also send 250 now who have just been enrolled in cuba we expect that in years to come to listen to them but don't try to expand the room and in the medical schools that we have which is a very. forgot that is the who original most of the most of the loan and deals are running medical courses through. the numbers that we have recently launched a project where drones that are medications blood esoteric to patients in areas that are hard to reach how's that going is doing quite well is doing quite well we launched the face about 4 months ago and it has that it will last through the prism like this against and we're supposed to do force and is to cover close about 70 percent of the land mass of the country we had required 12 things as issue of

priority here because in some areas. to help us that it is not needed but you're going on with this and that is obviously another debate for me that time would also allow us to delve deeper mr b. the minister of health got a many thanks for your time thank you very much. and i'd say yes big yes it's a legacy it can be tough for a young artist to find a nice and make a living doing something you love but for a 22 year old who's that deft with the paint brush and with illustrating his creative vision the search for unique has been successful. the canvas i view of use if abu good day at work. actually he's working on paper in this instance not on canvas and yes he works well wearing a good sized mask will show you what he looks like behind the mask in a sack you saw that day starts by creating

a central subject then slowly fills in or fills out his murals with intricate lines and patterns that he says tell a multitude of stories. to mask purely for inspiration but ever present in the work he calls his technique i know is a developed in a moment of tedious waiting for someone on the telephone. and say my star the line is in different motion. on the small people so i tend to keep drawing this particular. motions you know because it's something he's seen before not really seen before and not really heard of before i know is i'm comes from a you reuben name for a child born with his umbilical cord around his neck. day learned his very 1st difficult breaths were in such a position and he has since flown motivation from that knowledge.

is deep down and just growing alliance on it. and we found beauty in him meaning because whenever i create in my pieces i see and discover new symbols. these before he works on just about any kind of surface and has become an independent artist in certain circles and law goes with works that may last only a day. to those that could and should last decades or longer. now about as just beautiful that's it for now from d.w. news africa you can catch or last always on our website on facebook page we'll leave you now with more pictures of the beautiful works from the nigerian artist yousif. we'll see you next time 5 for now.
