　　But they don't want to take any foreign assistance¹ from anybody to do anything after 2020

　　但是他们不想在2020年之后继续接受任何类型的外国援助

　　And so they have to not only have hospitals and people trying to work there, but rural² clinics and community health workers

　　所以他们不仅需要医院和其中的医疗工作者还需要乡村诊所和社区医疗工作者

　　And so they asked us to put together a plan to do it
