But this was prior to the success we've seen with at least one drug coming to Africa.
I get a feeling, though—and I don't think it's just a feeling, but the elephant in the room—that it's rather like trying to give infrastructure to a country, saying “these people need trains”, and you send them a bunch of trains and there are no tracks. We're talking about all these things and we're asking the question, is it efficient? Are there things we can change? Would that change anything?
Some of you have stated in your opening statements that there are other serious problems. Before we administer these drugs, before we can bring them to market, before we can give the people that which they're in need of, there have to be some other things that line up.
I think we have to bring this home. There's no one here who doesn't look at Africa without our hearts just aching. I saw a program the other night on TV Ontario about the Congo. It's a different issue, but we all wish we could do something, that we could be more effective.
But I want to bring us home, and I'm going to give you the opportunity just to talk about what else is necessary. Before we can administer these drugs, what is the prerequisite for all of that?
Maybe you could elaborate on this.
