In this month's ´óÏó´«Ã½ Health Check, Claudia Hammond and Dr Ayan Panja look at creative solutions to global health problems. We start with one of the most common afflictions on the planet � hernia. One in four men worldwide will be affected in their lifetime but many millions go untreated. Could mosquito net mesh be used to patch them up? Dr Ayan finds out about the power of architecture to help people recovering from cancer, and we take a trip to the beach to discover the health benefits of being by the sea. We examine the shocking statistic that around two-thirds of the world's deaths go completely unrecorded � so our reporter Anne Soy travels to Malawi to look at an ingenious new phone app that could turn things around. And finally, what kind of people come up with these innovations? We visit a garage in Wales to meet some medical inventors in action.
