Where were you placed?

Well, I went to the Congo.

Now, there's two Congos, two Congos.

There's the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is the least democratic.

And then there's the Republic of Congo, which is sort of the old French Congo.

The DRC, which is the one that's playing footy at the moment.

The DRC is playing footy and has got an Ebola outbreak.

Right.

So that's not the one I was in, but we were just across the river from that.

They're both next to each other, the old Belgian and the French Congos from colonial days.

So it was post-conflict, Mark, but it was a long way away from the capital.

Like if you think about Sydney and, I don't know, Bourke or West Adabo or something like that, that's where this was relatively in that country.

So-

There's nothing there.

We're in the middle of the jungle.

We're in a village of 30,000 people.

We're providing the only health care there.

Do you have a hospital?

MSF had built a hospital there when the need arose 10 years ago.

And now we're sitting there going, well, what do we do with this hospital?
