7:39 pm
a diagnosis is only the 1st step. sierra leone struggles to meet even basic health care needs. diabetes is low on the list of priorities without treatment type one diabetes is fatal. many people, including how is family often to have to choose between paying for transport, to a hospital and feeding their family. sweden dunk on those databases. when i was likely to diabetes, we didn't have the money to take me to a hospital. i know that i couldn't get treatments and in my parents then they will not a i'm going to so they decided somebody that's closer to the town of the car and i and i'll speak to well let it go. i guess with the town is near medina. where in n g o is set up a clinic called health medina and geo is often filled the gaps where the state can't. the clinic does

a blood test to measure how his blood sugar levels that's high normal is between 4 and 72 in the hospital about what you should suffice you about what you should be saying. what did they tell you? this is a signal. if something does sugar function does have fuss. you said it's low go windows. no, well this is only the one i didn't see confidently that issue when i see my friends, i feel ashamed and i they looked at me so long ago. i looked at myself in the mirror and saw how my body has changed. and what did you need to speak while i was being sick hauled, but on top of people's income,
7:41 pm
my wex for 6 on mobile, 26 on the line. so, and i know the financial button, my sickness has gotten my parents. so i feel bad about to disclose why this is by the help how i can get from the local clinic is not enough. despite the cost, the help medina team decides to pay for her travel to a hospital in the nearest big city mccaney. it's hours away, the, the journey could save, how is life? it's the only place where she can get enough inside. and without it, she will probably die in so they is hard to come by in sierra leone. when scientists discovered in so in a century ago,
7:42 pm
they wanted it to be freely available to anyone who needed it to the 3 pharmaceutical companies. control the world market making access to into the, in the global south difficult. the the holy spirit hospital in mccaney has a small diabetes clinic that's able to help just a handful of patients. patrick to rate is the medical director. now when you talk of insulation in this country in salinas, this keeps commodity. and many times it is not available. so it means patients will often die because they don't have access to industry. and will require rama is the only nurse who you're trained in diabetes care. i
7:43 pm
don't know if i send us i sent in us for 41 years ago. how can i move? i came to know about diabetes when we started the diabetes clinic and the holy spirit hospital in 20. 1313 the limited supply comes from a charity in the netherlands called insulin for life, which collects on, needed insulin from diabetics. there. the insulin gets sent over in suitcases when people travel it can meet the needs of about 30 people a year. how is one of those who will benefit from this small supply? they give her medicine twice a day. then you type one cases with type one cases. we have children coming from from 3 times to nearly every day except for time. nurse co. romano checks. how is i cite, diabetes can cause visual problems and even blindness. she also checks how is feed
7:44 pm
for nerve damage, which can lead to untreated wounds. another common symptom of diabetes. type one diabetes is often a genetic condition. the pancreas can produce insulin, a hormone that's necessary to survive. the fact that people are travelling 5 hours from the capital free town shows just how desperate things are. but the situation is more complicated than just getting insulin. the most basic information on living with diabetes regarding things like diet, is largely non existent in sierra leone. the majority of people here live in poverty. life is difficult. families often have to make difficult choices and more rico roma has known many patients who receive treatments in the clinic, but struggles to cope with the complex challenges of living with diabetes. she has
7:45 pm
seen many of her patients die. full type type one. the register done is a 16 for type to the registered in dies the $51.00, c one. and i knew what those are, the ones that i know about considering how few patients the clinic can treat. those are staggering numbers with access to insulin and early proper treatment they would likely have survived. woodson mall is fine. is that safe to put into is really so for a few weeks later, how is already feeling better and well, i will not need the coming to the clinic and they showed me how he lives in madison level. do you feel strong? good. i don't know who to do before, i couldn't drink around with my friends, but i didn't really feel okay. i don't, i'm feeling back to now and i can try to call, you know, no one seems to me over. maybe it's likely there are many other diabetics here. cool. unlike how i never even know the cause of their suffering. but in terms of
7:46 pm
testing, at least things do seem to be changing. to private organizations began testing in february 2022 of the approximately 10000 people who requested screening just over 4000 had diabetes. but there was still an enormous unmet need. and marie columbus clinic is just a drop in the ocean, especially because of the enormous rise in diabetes in low and middle income countries. of the diabetes crises in sierra leone seems to be growing ever more severe. and the country doesn't have the resources ready to handle it. the you repeat time to around $12000000.00 since the end roma. most of them live in the east and south east of the continent. prejudice and discrimination against them on
7:47 pm
ranks leaving the majority in a vicious cycle of poverty. there's just a minute to go. byrom is trained for this fight for a long time. you'll be competing in the oil wrestling arena. turkey's best fighters have come together to compete in a doing a byron's home city. the 15 year old is positive tech. he's really making me energy . he's fighting prejudices to ask them. i feel really strong. i'll be starting in a few minutes. obviously, i'm nervous. now it's also started raining. this is the famous kid, you know, tournament, that means anything can happen at this. all the sites don't the restless it down, student olive oil, which makes it difficult for them to ground, hold of each other by around one the title here. 2 years ago, he's hoping to do it again. the site gets under way
7:48 pm
to when he has to get his opponents back to touch the ground for a while, neither of them succeeds in getting the behind that then everything happens. very funny. one is through to the next round the head so. so if you read us to take a break it down a little bit. that was a tough opponent just now during the fight you experience so many emotions that are hard to describe. but you have to experience a google that the i'm the younger brother is also competing today. the 13 year old is hoping to repeat. his brother's success. byrom has made it into a sponsorship program. if i had engine wednesdays tournament, he could find a seat. i'm nervous, but i've come here to win and i trained
7:49 pm
a lot of engine has already won 3 fights and the competition. now he's in the study final and once again, he's successful. it took him just minutes to win. in the evening we visit the brothers at home. only really my live in this neighborhood. then mother stuff you know is preparing dinner. she's incredibly proud of her son and success. even if things aren't always easy. or i might be a, it's a split that requires money for that, susan equipment, we're renting this place and my husband and he gets the minimum wage of about getting to the side by around an item. john hope that supposing success will help improves that fourteen's use unemployment among really mess duns at 65 percent.
7:50 pm
that's more than 3 times the tech is average. one problem is that young people often like role models. it isn't there are hardly any opportunities for roma. if you don't make it at school, you become a musician. if that doesn't work out, you end up collecting garbage maintenance turn to drugs, bombs. so uh its like we trained twice a week and our coach is trying to support it says best he can keep don't and i have to is my greatest dream is be coming in olympic champion and wrestling. i don't want anything else because if i did that, i'd have to world my feet into doing a lot of animals but for so they have to win the tournament tomorrow. both are confident. the next day, the real heavy weight tank on the so cool bunch has to be fun. nope. many of the sites is make it this fun. some don't sort of roma could ever make it assuming
7:51 pm
they'd stop drinking or full into crime for a long time by around sausage from that kind of prejudice. so any, i think i'm helping to improve the roemer reputation and the the room on letting me go to my performance speaks for itself my those the other roman monitors many room, especially from my neighborhood. tell me i'm the rose of the room on said roman living. it's no by runs 10 to enter the arena. he's feeling quite tense shortly beforehand. he then, cuz his opponent is 2 years older than him, and an experienced fight to foot byron soon gets him a run for his money home to 20 minutes. they take a short break. the site goes into extra time when they redeem things,
7:52 pm
once again, go back and full for a number of minutes. but in the end, it's not enough by room as lost. the 15 year old is inconsolable. his family does the best to come to him. we move away to give them some space but me talk with byron a little while later. yep. it was. there's nothing i can do. there's time. it wasn't meant to be it does. now i need to focus on my brother. you know, i hope he, when he's a lawyer, his brother just needs one more victory to win the comp. byrom gives him a few final tapes item john is optimistic. i'm well prepared and i'm going to be a champion. but i engine's opponent is good and just like
7:53 pm
his brother is fine, goes into extra time. the then suddenly i think the big instead of writing is the find read, read hesitant notes items and has indeed one now there is no stopping in. his shyness has completely gone to re my brothers chasing one big dream to fight the way to the very top of this the this we call global teen comes from fiji. the
