Hey man I like a lot of this sentiment! I agree that getting stuck into doing physical things can make a huge difference.
I also think that healthcare provision in truly remote places (the 10 percent most remote) is a massively neglected area
Also agree that need in the Sahel is really high.
I’m a doctor that runs an organization that runs remote health centers in Uganda. The biggest issue in my mind isn’t that antibiotics aren’t around , but that the wrong medications are given all the time either because the best medications aren’t there, or because the wrong diagnosis is made. That’s what or org trying to fix in remote parts of Uganda.
There’s a multi million dollar organization called MUSO health which works along similar ish lines. They put medications like antibiotics in the hands of village health workers, who give them out for free pretty liberally, with some idea about diagnosis but not a whole lot.
Anyway I don’t necessarily think your specific idea is a great way to help, but theres some good ideas in there.
