安德魯巴斯塔洛斯: 一種資助健康照護、協助最脆弱的人的新方式

2011 年,眼科外科醫生安德魯巴斯塔洛斯開發了一個手機應用程式,將高品質的眼睛照護帶到偏遠社區中,協助人們避免因為可治癒或可預防的疾病而失明。過程中,他注意到一個問題:嚴格的資助規定,讓他只能為特定疾病的人開刀,讓許多其他人沒有資源,無法接受治療。在這場充滿熱情的演說中,巴斯塔洛斯提出一個新的健康照護資助模型,很有彈性也很有野心——要把更好的健康照護帶給每個人,不論他們的需求是什麼。

且她感到絕望,覺得自己
奪走了六歲孫子的童年,
00:51

他無法去上學或是打破貧窮的循環。
01:03
All of this, despite儘管 cost-effective經濟有效
solutions解決方案 existing現有.
15

儘管具有成本效益的解決方案,
卻仍然發生這種事。
01:06

01:15

19
63088
3192
治癒性和或預防性的療法
都已經存在了。
01:19
Fortunately幸好 for Mama媽媽 Jane and her friend朋友,
20
67108
2453
珍媽媽和她的朋友很幸運,
01:21
a donor捐贈者 had provided提供 treatment治療
21
69585
1827
一位捐贈者提供了治療,
01:23
so that we could take them
to the nearest最近的 hospital醫院
22
71436
2334
讓我們能帶她們到最近的醫院,
只要三小時的路程。
01:25
three hours小時 away.
23
73794
1544
01:27
But in that very same相同 clinic診所,
24
75362
1814
但就在同一間診所中,
01:29
I met會見 Theresa有一個,
25
77200
1675
我遇見了泰瑞莎,
01:30
a shy害羞 young年輕 woman女人 who couldn't不能
look me in the eyes眼睛,
26
78899
3087
她是位害羞的年輕女子,
無法看我的眼睛,
01:34
not because she couldn't不能 see,
27
82010
1881
不是因為她看不見,
01:35
but the appearance出現 of the growth發展
on her eyes眼睛 called pterygium翼 狀 胬 肉
28
83915
3154
而是因為她的眼睛長出了翼狀贅片,
01:39
meant意味著 she'd lost丟失 her confidence置信度,
29
87093
1775
意思就是她失去了她的信心,
01:40
and with it, her place地點 in her community社區.
30
88892
2366
隨著信心,也失去了
她在社區中的地位。
01:43
She had no prospects前途
for marriage婚姻 or children孩子
31
91282
2556
她完全不指望能結婚生子,
01:45
and had been completely全然 ostracized排斥.
32
93862
2033
且完全被排斥在外。
01:48
I knew知道 how to treat對待 her condition條件;
it was pretty漂亮 straightforward直截了當.
33
96381
3142
我知道如何治療她的狀況;
方法相當直接。
01:51
But we had strict嚴格 instructions說明
that the funds資金 we had
34
99547
2745
但我們能取得的基金
有嚴格的指示,
01:54
were for people with cataracts白內障.
35
102316
1629
只能用於白內障的人。
01:56
What was I supposed應該 to do?
36
104945
1896
我能怎麼做?
01:58
Ignore忽視 her?
37
106865
1374
忽視她?
02:01
My wife妻子 and I managed管理 to raise提高 the funds資金
to cover her treatment治療,
38
109071
3125
我太太和我想辦法
為她的治療募款,
02:04
but situations情況 like Theresa有一個
were common共同 every一切 day,
39
112220
2832
但像泰瑞莎這樣的情況
天天都在發生,
02:07
where people had the wrong錯誤 diseases疾病.
40
115076
2503
這些人得了錯的病。
02:10
And by the "wrong錯誤 diseases疾病,"
41
118068
1595
我所謂的「錯的病」
02:11
I mean conditions條件 for which哪一個
funding資金 hadn't有沒有 been earmarked專項.
42
119687
3910
指的就是不包含在
資金撥款用途中的那些病。
02:17
Earmarking指定用途 may可能 seem似乎 like smart聰明 business商業
or smart聰明 philanthropy慈善事業 on paper,
43
125055
4394
理論上,撥專款似乎是種
聰明的生意或聰明的慈善,
02:21
but it doesn't make any sense
when you're looking the person in the eye.
44
129473
3482
但當你看著病人的眼睛時,
這樣的做法是不合理的。
02:24
Yet然而, this is how we deliver交付 health健康 care關心
to millions百萬 of people the world世界 over.
45
132979
4826
然而,我們就這樣將健康照護
提供給世界各地的數百萬人。
02:31
I've been thinking思維 about this problem問題
for a very long time.
46
139513
3230
長年以來,
我一直在思考這個問題。
02:35
Things happened發生 to me at the age年齡 of 12
that completely全然 transformed改造 my life.
47
143466
4349
我十二歲的時候發生了一件事,
改變了我的人生。
02:39
My teachers教師 insisted堅持
that I would go for an eye test測試.
48
147839
3417
我的老師堅持我要去做視力檢查。
02:43
I resisted抵制 it for as many許多 years年份 as I could
49
151280
2059
多年來我一直很抗拒,能閃則閃,
02:45
because as the only
brown棕色 boy男孩 in the school學校,
50
153363
2212
身為學校中唯一褐色皮膚的男孩,
02:47
I already已經 felt like
a chocolate巧克力 chip芯片 in rice白飯 pudding布丁,
51
155599
2825
我已經覺得自己像是
米布丁中的巧克力片了,
02:50
and the idea理念 of looking more different不同
was not particularly尤其 appealing吸引人的.
52
158448
3975
我實在沒什麼興趣再去
找出我和別人的不同。
02:54
You see, I'd associated相關
an eye test測試 with wearing穿著 glasses眼鏡
53
162447
2663
我會把視力檢查聯想到要戴眼鏡
02:57
and looking different不同,
54
165134
1373
及看起來與眾不同,
02:58
not with seeing眼看 differently不同.
55
166531
1582
而不是聯想到看更清楚。
03:00
When eventually終於 I was persuaded說服了 to go,
56
168708
2138
最終,我被說服要去檢查時,
03:02
the optometrist驗光師 fitted me
with the trial審訊 lenses鏡頭
57
170870
2348
驗光師讓我配上試鏡片,
03:05
and was shocked吃驚
at just how poor較差的 my sight視力 was.
58
173242
2748
我很驚訝我的視力原來這麼差。
03:08
He sent發送 me outside
to report報告 what I could see.
59
176014
2628
他要我走出去,
告訴他我能看到什麼。
03:10
I remember記得 looking up and seeing眼看
trees樹木 had leaves樹葉 on them.
60
178666
4808
我還記得我向上看,
看到樹木上面有樹葉。
03:15
I had never known已知 this.
61
183498
1681
我以前從來不知道這一點。
03:18
Later後來 that week, for the first time,
I saw stars明星 in the night sky天空.
62
186068
4030
同一週沒多久之後,
我第一次看見了夜空的星星。
03:22
It was breathtaking驚險.
63
190122
1439
那景象讓我摒息。
03:24
In fact事實, the entire整個 trajectory彈道
of my life changed.
64
192163
3337
事實上,我人生的整個軌道改變了。
03:27
I went from a failing失敗 child兒童 at school學校
who was constantly經常 told I was lazy
65
195524
3565
我以前在學校裡被認為是懶惰、
注意力不集中的魯蛇小孩,
03:31
and not paying付款 attention注意
66
199113
1215
03:32
to suddenly突然 being存在 a child兒童
with opportunity機會 and potential潛在.
67
200352
2956
突然變成了有機會、有潛能的小孩。
03:36
But I soon不久 realized實現 that
this opportunity機會 was not universal普遍.
68
204340
3358
但我很快就發現,
這個機會並不是大家都有的。
03:39
That same相同 summer夏季, in Egypt埃及,
69
207722
1893
同年夏天,在埃及,
03:41
the home where my parents父母
are originally本來 from,
70
209639
2308
也就是我父母原本的家鄉,
03:43
I was with children孩子 that looked看著
a lot more like me
71
211971
2763
我和外表跟我很像的
孩子們在一起,
03:46
but couldn't不能 have been more different不同.
72
214758
2192
但我又他們非常不同。
03:48
What separated分離 us was opportunity機會.
73
216974
2091
我們之間的差別在於機會。
03:51
How is it that I had this life
and they had theirs他們的?
74
219740
3198
為什麼我能有這種生活,
他們的生活卻是那樣?
03:54
It still makes品牌 no sense to me.
75
222962
1825
我仍然覺得不合理。
03:57
How is it we've我們已經 --
76
225306
1159
為什麼我們——
03:58
in a world世界 where glasses眼鏡,
that completely全然 changed my life
77
226489
3711
完全改變了我人生的眼鏡,
04:02
have been around for 700 years年份,
78
230224
2309
在世界上其實已經存在七百年了,
04:04
yet然而 two and a half billion十億 people
still can't access訪問 them.
79
232557
3351
為什麼仍然有二十五億人
無法取得眼鏡?
04:08
This deep sense of injustice不公正
drove開車 me to become成為 a doctor醫生,
80
236503
3672
這種很深刻的不公平感,
驅使我變成了醫生,
04:12
eventually終於 an eye surgeon外科醫生,
81
240199
1677
最終成了眼科外科醫生,
04:13
and in 2012, my wife妻子 and I
packed打包 our bags包裝袋 and moved移動 to Kenya肯尼亞
82
241900
4531
2012 年,我和我太太
打包搬到肯亞,
04:18
to try and give something back.
83
246455
1631
試著以某種方式回饋。
04:20
We started開始 by setting設置 up
a hundred eye clinics診所
84
248797
2285
我們一開始在東非大裂谷設立了
04:23
across橫過 the Great Rift裂痕 Valley,
85
251106
1447
一百間眼科診所,
04:24
where we met會見 people
like Mama媽媽 Jane and Theresa有一個.
86
252577
2506
在那裡,我們遇到
像是珍媽媽和泰瑞莎的人。
04:27
We founded成立 a new organization組織
called Peek窺視 Vision視力,
87
255855
2498
我們成立了一個新組織,
叫 Peek Vision,
04:30
a social社會 enterprise企業 where
we built內置 smartphone手機 technology技術
88
258377
3628
是一間社會企業,
我們開發智慧手機技術,
04:34
that makes品牌 it possible可能
for people in the community社區
89
262029
2597
讓社區中的人能夠
04:36
to find people in their homes家園,
90
264650
1727
在他們的家中找到人,
04:38
the most vulnerable弱勢 groups
who are being存在 missed錯過,
91
266401
2695
最弱勢、被忽視的族群,
04:41
and created創建 new tools工具 that made製作 it
easier更輕鬆 to diagnose診斷 them
92
269120
2845
我們還會創造新工具,
更容易為他們做診斷,
04:43
and connect them to services服務.
93
271989
1849
將他們與服務連結。
04:45
Inspired啟發 by the challenges挑戰
I'd had as a child兒童,
94
273862
2296
靈感是來自我小時候遇到的困難,
04:48
we equipped裝備 teachers教師,
25 of them, with smartphones智能手機
95
276182
2892
所以我們找了二十五位老師,
提供他們智慧手機,
04:51
to screen屏幕 children孩子 in schools學校.
96
279098
1867
在學校篩檢兒童。
04:52
Our first program程序 resulted導致
in 21,000 children孩子
97
280989
2398
我們的第一個專案結果,
04:55
being存在 screened篩選 in just nine days.
98
283411
2152
是在九天內篩檢完
兩萬一千名兒童。
04:58
That same相同 program程序 was replicated複製
to reach達到 200,000 children孩子,
99
286149
3420
同樣的專案繼續複製執行,
觸及了二十萬名兒童,
05:01
covering覆蓋 the entire整個 district.
100
289593
1845
也就是整區的所有兒童。
05:03
Soon不久 we were able能夠 to repeat重複 this
in six new programs程式
101
291462
2569
我們很快會在
不同國家的六個新專案中
05:06
in different不同 countries國家.
102
294055
1350
重覆使用這種做法。
05:08
But now, I was faced面對 with the very
same相同 problems問題 I had with Theresa有一個
103
296106
3918
但現在,我面臨的問題
就類似泰瑞莎案例中的
05:12
of earmarked專項 funds資金,
104
300048
1788
資金撥款用途問題,
05:13
but now as an organization組織.
105
301860
1799
但現在換成是一個組織。
05:16
People wanted to fund基金 specific具體 projects項目
106
304374
3396
大家會想要資助特定的專案計畫
05:19
or particular特定 diseases疾病
107
307794
1755
或是特定的疾病,
05:21
or subsets of the population人口.
108
309573
1939
或是某部分的人口。
05:24
But it didn't make sense,
109
312178
1595
但這樣不合理,
05:25
because what we needed需要 to do
was build建立 an incredible難以置信 team球隊
110
313797
2680
因為我們需要做的
是建立一個絕佳的團隊,
05:28
who could create創建 the systems系統
that would change更改 the lives生活
111
316501
2713
這個團隊要能夠創造系統,
來改變數百萬人的生命,
不論他們的需求是什麼。
05:31
of millions百萬 of people,
whatever隨你 their needs需求 were.
112
319238
2395
05:34
But it didn't work that way.
113
322385
1495
但不是那樣運作的。
05:38
Soon不久, we were able能夠 to align對齊 ourselves我們自己
with partners夥伴 who understood了解,
114
326166
5023
我們很快就和能夠理解的夥伴結盟,
05:43
because I understand理解 the challenge挑戰.
115
331213
2057
因為我知道困難挑戰在哪裡。
05:45
Ultimately最終,, you need to trust相信
where your money's錢的 going,
116
333294
3275
最終,你得要信任你的金錢投資,
05:48
and that trust相信 usually平時 manifests艙單
through通過 the requirement需求
117
336593
2620
而信任的表現方式
通常是會透過需求,
05:51
to create創建 detailed詳細 plans計劃 --
lots of paperwork證件.
118
339237
2451
建立細節計畫的需求,
很多文書工作。
05:53
But what happens發生
if the dynamic動態 needs需求 of people
119
341712
2340
但如果人的動態需求
05:56
don't fit適合 with the plan計劃 that you created創建,
120
344076
2042
不符合你所建立的計畫,
05:58
and your funding資金 is dependent依賴的
on delivering交付 the plan計劃?
121
346142
2929
且你的資金要仰賴
計畫的實現,怎麼辦?
06:01
You end結束 up with a choice選擇:
122
349095
1452
你最後要做一個選擇:
06:03
Do you serve服務 the plan計劃, the funder資助者,
123
351079
2484
你是要滿足計畫,也就是出資者,
06:05
or do you serve服務 the need?
124
353587
1411
或是要滿足需求?
06:07
This is not a choice選擇
we should have to make,
125
355482
2427
這不該是我們需要去做的選擇,
06:09
because ultimately最終,
we can only serve服務 one master.
126
357933
3061
因為最終,我們只能
服侍一個主人。
06:14
The measure測量 of our humanity人性
127
362633
2107
人性的衡量方式,
06:16
is how we serve服務 the most
vulnerable弱勢 amongst其中包括 us.
128

就是我們如何服務
我們當中最脆弱的人。
06:20
Currently目前, the system系統 is not working加工,
and too many許多 people are being存在 left behind背後.
129
368033

目前,這個系統沒有用,
太多人被拋下。
06:25
We've我們已經 been fortunate幸運 to find
incredible難以置信 supporters支持者 and partners夥伴,
130
373245
3473
我們很幸運,
能找到很棒的支持者和夥伴,
06:28
which哪一個 led to a new program程序 in Botswana博茨瓦納,
131
376742
2770
這就導致了在波紮那的新專案,
06:31
in which哪一個 every一切 single schoolchild小學生
is being存在 screened篩選 and treated治療
132
379536
3342
這個專案要讓所有學童
在 2021 年底前都接受篩檢和治療,
06:34
by the end結束 of 2021,
133
382902
2354
06:37
meaning含義 an entire整個 generation of children孩子
134
385280
2064
也就是說,整個世代的孩童
06:39
will have the opportunity機會
that good vision視力 affords得到.
135
387368
2481
都將會有好視力帶來的機會。
06:42
But this took years年份 of work.
136
390423
2079
但這花了很多年的工作。
06:44
It took multiple feasibility可行性 studies學習,
137
392526
2094
做了很多項可行性研究,
06:46
engaging different不同
partners夥伴 and stakeholders利益相關者,
138
394644
2594
動用到不同的夥伴、利害關係人、

2262
商業案例、經濟分析,
06:51
to persuade說服 the government政府
to eventually終於 come on board.
140
399548
2793
終於說服政府加入。
06:54
But they're now leading領導 and funding資金 this
in their own擁有 national國民 budget預算.
141
402365
3916
現在他們用自己國家的預算
在領導和資助這件事。
06:58
But we did not have
the resources資源 to do this.
142
406305
3219
但我們沒有資源來做這件事。
07:01
Our visionary空想家 funders資助者 and partners夥伴
came來了 alongside並肩 us,
143
409937
3380
我們有遠景的資助者
和夥伴來協助我們,
07:05
and the key ingredients配料 were
we were aligned對齊 on mission任務,
144
413341
3325
而關鍵的要素就是
我們因為使命而結盟,
07:08
on the why we were doing it.
145
416690
1629
因為做這件事的原因而結盟。
07:11
We agreed約定 on the outcome結果,
what had to be doneDONE.
146
419071

我們對於結果、
該做什麼,都有一致看法。
07:14
But critically危重, they were flexible靈活
and gave us autonomy自治
147
422895
4037
但,重要的是,
他們有彈性,能給我們自主權
07:18
to work out how we got there,
148
426956
2248
來想辦法做到目標,
07:21
giving us the space空間 to be creative創作的,
ambitious有雄心 and take risk風險.
149
429228
3976
給我們空間來發揮創意、
施展野心、去冒險。
07:25
What if all health健康 care關心 looked看著 like this?
150
433795
2364
如果所有的健康照護
都是這個樣子的呢?
07:28
What would it mean for all
the social社會 causes原因 we're trying to solve解決?
151
436183
4096
那對於我們試圖解決的
所有社會成因,有什麼意涵?
07:33
Business商業 knows知道 this.
152
441171
1667
企業知道這一點。
07:34
By taking服用 a long-term長期, ambitious有雄心 view視圖
153
442862

採用長遠、有野心的觀點,
07:37
and giving people

154
445465
2279
給大家自主權,發揮創意,
07:39
to solve解決 our world's世界 biggest最大 challenges挑戰,
155
447768
2008
來解決我們世界上
最大的挑戰之一,
07:41
we've我們已經 disrupted破壞 entire整個 industries行業.
156
449800
2072
我們已經擾亂了整個產業。
07:43
Look at Amazon亞馬遜, Google谷歌.
157
451896
2151
看看亞馬遜、谷歌。
07:46
Surely一定, we need the same相同 level水平 of ambition志向
158
454071
2131
當然,我們需要同等的野心,
07:48
if we're going to serve服務 the most
vulnerable弱勢 in our societies社會.
159
456226
2967
如果我們打算要服務
我們社會中最脆弱的人。
07:51
As a planet行星, we've我們已經 set a target目標,
160
459574
2344
我們地球已經設定了一個目標,
07:53
the Sustainable可持續發展 Development發展 Goals目標,
161
461942
2396
「永續發展目標」,
07:56
yet然而 we're spending開支 less than half
the amount on tackling搶斷 the global全球 goals目標
162
464362
4131
但我們用在處理全球目標上的花費,
還不到在解決衝突上的花費的一半,
08:00
than we are on conflict衝突 resolution解析度,
163
468517
1935
08:02
which哪一個 mostly大多 arises出現 from
the very inequalities不平等 we're not serving服務.
164
470476
3696
而大部分的衝突都因為那些我們
沒打算服務的不平等所產生的。
08:07
It's time for change更改.
165
475140
1429
該是改變的時候了。
08:09
It's not just common共同 sense as well --
it makes品牌 business商業 sense.
166
477015
3732
它不只是常識——
它在商業上也說得通。
08:12
Our work in Botswana博茨瓦納 showed顯示
167
480771
1761
根據我們在波紮那的研究,
08:14
for a modest謙虛 investment投資, the economy經濟
would gain獲得 1.3 billion十億 dollars美元
168
482556
3920
針對適度的投資,
經濟會在孩子的一生中
增加十三億美金。
08:18
over the lifetime一生 of the children孩子.
169
486500
1864
08:20
That was 150 times return返回 on investment投資.
170
488388
2697
投資利潤是一百五十倍。
08:23
But part部分 of the problem問題 is
that value is generated產生 in the future未來,
171
491681
3549
但部分問題在於
要到未來才會產生價值,
08:27
but we need the money now to deliver交付 it.
172
495254
1993
但我們現在就需要錢來實現它。
08:30
Turns out, this is not a new problem問題.
173
498424
2352
結果發現,這不是個新問題。
08:32
Banks銀行 have been solving it for centuries百年.
174
500800
2232
數個世紀以來,
銀行都在解決這個問題。
08:35
Simply只是 put, it's called financing融資.
175
503056
1970
簡單來說,它叫融資。
08:38
If you want to buy購買 a house
176
506192
1336
如果你想要買一間房子,
08:39
but you can't afford給予
to pay工資 for it up front面前,
177
507552
2366
但你買不起,無法先付清,
08:41
the bank銀行 financiers金融家, you see,
can realize實現 that future未來 value now.
178
509942
3371
銀行的金融家能夠在現在
就知道未來的價值。
08:45
In other words, you can live生活
in the house straightaway馬上.
179
513337
3008
換言之,你可以馬上住進房子。
08:48
But what if you couldn't不能?
180
516369
1255
但如果你不能呢?
08:49
What if you had to wait until直到 you'd raised上調
all of the money to move移動 into the house,
181
517648
4102
如果你得要籌到所有
必要的錢才能搬進房子,
為了搬進房子而存錢的過程
08:53
and you were kept不停 homeless無家可歸
whilst同時 trying to save保存 the money
182
521774
2790
你都無家可歸,會如何?
08:56
to get there in the first place地點?
183
524588
1547
你會陷入一個不可能的循環中,
永遠達不到目標,
08:58
You'd end結束 up in an impossible不可能 cycle週期,
never able能夠 to get there,
184
526159
2927
但,我們就把自己
放入了這樣的困境中。
09:01
yet然而 that's this very same相同 bind捆綁
we've我們已經 put on ourselves我們自己.
185

09:34

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Andrew Bastawrous - Eye surgeon, inventor
Andrew Bastawrous studies eye health -- and builds accessible new tools to bring eye care to more people.

Why you should listen

Andrew Bastawrous is cofounder and CEO of Peek Vision, a social impact organization that uses smartphone technology to radically increase access to eye care in some of the most challenging places in the world. Bastawrous is also an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) and Associate Professor in International Eye Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Peek's vision app, Peek Acuity, is being used to transform eye health in more than 150 countries. The organization ran one of the top-ten all-time Indiegogo crowd-funding campaigns in the health sector -- for Peek Retina, a smartphone ophthalmoscope -- and was voted "best social-impact start-up in Europe" by Google and McKinsey in 2016. All prize money has been re-invested in Peek.

Bastawrous is working with astrophysicists to crowdsource retinal data; with National Geographic explorers to reach isolated communities; and with artists and activists to advocate for eye care globally. He and his wife Madeleine have established a social enterprise healthy bakery in Kenya that provides employment, with profits paying for eye care.

In 2018, Bastawrous was invited to deliver the Commonwealth Address in the presence of the British Royal Family, where he announced the creation of a new one-billion-dollar Vision Catalyst Fund -- a new vision for international aid.
