00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:16.892
Ah, we came in the middle of the height   of the HIV pandemic
and we were taken from the airport to a rural community,

00:00:16.892 --> 00:00:21.284
and we just saw people dying everywhere in the
rural community and found that the biggest

00:00:21.284 --> 00:00:24.797
barrier for people to access healthcare was transport.

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:30.224
And, for someone to get medical healthcare,
they had to walk for something like 40, 50

00:00:30.224 --> 00:00:32.940
kilometers just to get to a decent clinic.

00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:39.166
And, so we started taking healthcare to the people, instead
of expecting the people to come to us for healthcare.

00:00:39.166 --> 00:00:51.340
The Luke Commission is an organization that is serving, here
in Africa, in the...Eswatini country in the southern part of Africa.

00:00:51.818 --> 00:01:02.257
We live in a country of about 1.3 million people, and we've
been privileged over the last fifteen years to move from HIV

00:01:02.257 --> 00:01:10.765
basically decimating our nation to today being one of the first
nations in the world to actually achieve epidemic control for HIV.

00:01:15.214 --> 00:01:21.251
We've, in the past several years, built a fixed facility in
the middle of the country, and we service anyone who

00:01:21.251 --> 00:01:24.339
comes to us for, for whatever health concern they have.

00:01:24.339 --> 00:01:30.272
When you're fighting an epidemic like HIV, or even COVID now
in the pandemic, the one thing you don't have is time.

00:01:30.272 --> 00:01:36.333
One of our biggest challenges from a tech standpoint,
you know, early on was we had a lot of siloed systems.

00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:42.906
So you had, you know, your staff in one HR system over here,
you had an inventory system that was separate.

00:01:42.906 --> 00:01:50.201
What Claris allows us to do uh, is identify a challenge,
work as a team to look at the best ways to solve it,

00:01:50.201 --> 00:01:53.751
and then to develop it that same day moving forward.

00:01:53.751 --> 00:02:00.912
We were able to pool time and attendance, HR, fleet management,
asset management, inventory, medical record-keeping,

00:02:00.912 --> 00:02:07.400
all of that into one platform where we could also
design solutions that work for us.

00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:15.467
For example, all our in patients they are connected to monitors
so wherever I am, say that maybe I'm not not at work, I'm at home.

00:02:15.467 --> 00:02:18.251
I am able to see those vitals coming in.

00:02:18.251 --> 00:02:26.956
Critical-care COVID is probably the most undesirable
job in the world, but we're committed to doing the hard things

00:02:26.956 --> 00:02:33.402
because we see amazing miracles in the middle of this devastation.

00:02:33.641 --> 00:02:43.084
So, today, about 99.95% of Eswatini's vaccinations
have all occurred real-time through Claris FileMaker.

00:02:43.084 --> 00:02:51.777
What we've learned over the last fifteen years is
that love is the foundation for healing.

00:02:51.777 --> 00:02:58.432
Claris FileMaker works for us because it allows us to
fulfill our calling.

00:02:58.432 --> 00:03:04.533
We are able to, to love everyone that comes into our
medical campus, and we are able to love those that we reach

00:03:04.533 --> 00:03:12.624
and those who are in far places, and we
believe that love conquers everything.
