00:00:09.430 --> 00:00:11.580
healthcare facilities across the continent

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:14.700
face shortages of basic medical supplies

00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:17.310
needed to treat the respiratory disease.

00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:19.020
Not only masks and ventilators,

00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:24.240
but something people in rich countries
take for granted: oxygen.

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:28.460
Kenyan doctor Bernard Olayo has worked for

00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:33.280
in his country and across Africa.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.340
Today, his company is poised to play a critical
role

00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:41.400
in the treatment of Kenya’s growing number
of COVID patients.
