Whether we’re rushing a child to the emergency room after a fall or making chicken soup for a feverish spouse, love inspires us to act when a family member gets sick. Global health activists Edith Elliott and Shahed Alam believe we can harness this power to create better health outcomes for everyone. Learn how their organization Noora Health works with doctors and nurses in India and Bangladesh to train the family members of hospital patients with essential skills to support their sick loved ones — and how they plan to expand their reach to support 70 million caregivers who care for more than one billion people over the next six years.

This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change. Watch all the talks from this year’s cohort at

      @Robert Clifton
      You can’t think your way to being healthy. Sure, a healthy mindset is extremely helpful, but that alone isn’t enough.

      @Average Joe I appreciated the video but there was alot left out . I did not say you can think yourself to good health but an individual can educate themselves to good health leading to masses of individuals teaching themselves about good health .

    We need your help in the USA. That’s a dad but true statement. Chronically pained and illl patients are being treated as sub humans more and more everyday. All we need is love, not greed. Thank you for what you’re doing. Blessings to you all.

    Families will always be the principal care providers because — no matter how skilled or funded — health care professionals don’t love you.

    It’s amazing everyone got covid but nobody really died oh that’s right unless you were earmarked by the social engineering structure in your hospital and you can only get reimbursed for covid related deaths hmmmmmm?
    Covid was a plandemic Corona was a plandemic and every variant after it is a plandemic
    Nutrition and loving caring human beings usually cure all disease alchemy of good quality organic whole foods and spices and specific lichen and/or Massillon will improve anyone’s mind and mood through the proper food.
    Sadly our food is tainted by GMOs and mad hatter scientists who like to coxify our foods with nanoparticulates immunizations and sadly enough geoengineering stratospheric aerosol injections this message is meant for those who have the mind and the heart to understand the real plantabic that’s going on against humanity and the genocide that nobody is willing to admit is occurring Western medical culture has ruined most humanity time to wake up call on your boy
    Dr.Atul Gawandi over it the Brigham and women’s Boston
    The nanotoxin revolution has begun fluoridated water GMO foods and three buildings falling in free fall speed into holes in the ground should be evidence enough.
    Just be sure the data that you guys are submitting and using is authentic.
    To all those who read my words sorry if it sounds a big mixed up and jumbled but I like to speak to my phone hopefully I got it all correctly through Google voice other than this I want you to be happy healthy and loving caring human beings thank you Jesus carry on

    Expressing love is great but if you’re giving them bad medicine on top of it all which includes those fancy little pills that come from Big pharma and all the other nanotoxins that you’re pumping into people with your immunizations that are meant to erode people’s oh yeah immune system

    Wait let me guess you all use fluoridated toothpaste still too???💜

    Wonderful. How I wish this development could be used to break down the culture of hostility we experience as home carers in hospitals in the UK. We have a culture of dismissal surrounding loved ones and their wish to be involved and to help. In the high pressure, highly responsible environment of health care where systems are overstretched, understaffed and sometimes chronically underfunded, few healthcare bodies are prepared to risk devolving care to relatives and friends desperate to help. I wish this project every success. It shows a brave attitude to developing healthcare opportunities.

    I appreciate you and your content < Technical Analysis is good but I find It truly baffling that major crypto youtubers just look mostly at pure T.A and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumps/pumped and why the future outlook will be even rosier than it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps,narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 12 btc from day tradng with Lewis Bryson insights and charts.His been one step ahead of other analysis..

      He is one of the best signal provider, because within my first 8 weeks of using his system, I have increased my portfolio from 22 BTC to 61 BTC. It’s been a wining and profit streak for me. i took the risk to invest a lot cause i know the reward is always massive

    Though getting care doesn’t mean getting at high price is good. In America the ambulance and hospital charges go above a middle class can afford. Reform needed.

    Give people the freedom to choose caring for their families over employment!!
    No more evictions from primary residences!
