Ms. Veenu Gupta, came up with a brilliant idea. 维努·笈多女士提出了一条妙计。
A monthly ranking of all districts. 所有地区每月都要排名。

We made the ranking go public. 我们公开了排名。
We put the ranking on the website, we put the ranking on social media , and before you knew it, the media got involved , with newspaper articles on which districts were doing well and which ones weren't. 我们将排名放到了互联网上, 放到了社交媒体上, 不等你反应过来, 媒体就都参与进来了, 通过报刊文章点评着各地区表现孰好孰坏。
media:n.媒体;媒质(medium的复数);血管中层;浊塞音;中脉; involved:adj.有关的; v.涉及; (involve的过去式和过去分词)

reviewed:v.复习;评估;评论;检讨;(review的过去分词形式) motivating:v.激励;刺激;调动…的积极性(motivate的ing形式);

So now, when you put these two together, the coffee shop strategy and public competition , you now had a public health system which was significantly more motivated to improve citizen health. 于是乎,当你们将 咖啡店策略与公开竞争合二为一, 就有了一个对于提升公民健康 今非昔比、动力十足的 公共健康系统。
competition:n.竞争;比赛,竞赛; significantly:adv.意味深长地;值得注目地;
And now that you had a more motivated health system, it was actually a system that was now much more ready for support. 既然现在的公共健康系统 背后充满动力了, 它就比过去更需要获得支持。

And because their teams were now significantly motivated, they were simply lapping up the support, because they wanted to perform better and better. 正因为他们的团队 现在动力十足, 他们对支持来者不拒, 以求绩效更上一层楼。
Broken systems certainly need more resources and tools. 支离破碎的系统 固然需要更多资源与工具,
But they won't drive much impact if you don't first address the motivation challenge. 但如果不先把动力点燃, 那些东西只会收效甚微。
