Malaria is still one of the biggest killers of children under five in the health zone of Bili (northern Democratic Republic of Congo). Distance and price are the biggest hurdles for their parents to look for treatment for their children. That's why MSF provided bicycles to the most remote communities in the health zone that are not accessible by car or motorcycle. Jean-Bernard is responsible for a community health site and he transports sick children from his post to the nearest health centre. On foot, the transfer would take three hours, but with a bicycle this has been reduced to just one hour. Simple solutions can have a big impact. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare.
