Over the past few decades, in their work to improve the health of people globally, research based biopharmaceutical companies are continually faced with the same dilemma you describe: how best to improve a population’s access to medicines where resources are low and infrastructure is limited. These companies have been facing this challenge with their partners, and have achieved positive results.

If 1 error per 6 million deliveries is accurate, this is well into "six-sigma" territory. 3.4 errors per <i>million</i> operations <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Sigma#Historical_overview" rel="nofollow">is the threshold</a> and this is <i>six million</i> operations. Further, if it is based on long-term data, the threshold is even <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Sigma#The_role_of_the_1.5_sigma_shift" rel="nofollow">greater than 3.4 DPMO</a>. In percentage terms we're talking a 0.00002% error rate. Wow, the post title doesn’t go far enough!
