In 2011, eye surgeon and TED Fellow Andrew Bastawrous developed a smartphone app that brings quality eye care to remote communities, helping people avoid losing their sight to curable or preventable conditions. Along the way, he noticed a problem: strict funding regulations meant that he could only operate on people with specific diseases, leaving many others without resources for treatment. In this passionate talk, Bastawrous calls for a new health care funding model that's flexible and ambitious — to deliver better health to everyone, whatever their needs are.

I love these TED talks, keep them going!
All this talk about funding and finance. But no mention where this money comes from. Us, the taxpayers. All this healthcare for impoverished countries comes from First world countries. White countries. And still we are labeled as racist.
Basically, what poor people need is Capitalism.
