Program: NOW #321
Can American entrepreneurial know-how save lives in Africa? NOW travels to Kenya to investigate an enterprising idea: franchising not burger and donut shops, but health services and drugs in rural Africa. American businessmen are teaming with African entrepreneurs to spread for-profit clinics around the country in the hopes of providing quality, affordable medical care to even Kenya's poorest people.
But can they overcome obstacles like extreme poverty, corruption, cheaper fraudulent services, and long distances to establish a sustained solution to a chronic problem? For the full show, tune in Friday, May 25 at 8:30 pm (check local listings), and discover more innovative ideas at www.pbs.org/now/enterprisingid...
