has no railway on planes a prohibitively expensive taxis are the most common form of transport. but drivers take advantage by overcharging clients. this passenger tries to travel on credit with her baby. you are not getting. it under water and you know it was done and you're going to get yes i'm worried about me and now. the driver feels sorry for her and the deal is struck but another passenger is more of a problem he's hurt his hand and wants a window seat. where you can see the most in. most you must include. the man in the baseball cap has reserved the seat. in one of the two was this was enough by the sensitive moment you think it was because you're willing

to give this kid knows it was some movement out to lucy this year one certainty did early part a part of me is not going to hear it was that a hundred. people finally nine passengers two babies and two drivers a crammed into the taxi. a bastard takes pride in his car which is twenty two years old. i was told it was never. going to be to me if i'm going to fix this up because i think i'm to be the government of the all. the passengers with the vaccine is finally leave the capital. the ice meant to preserve the vaccines has now been melting for eight hours if the driver doesn't make it to do go in sixteen hours the vaccines will be useless and much as well be thrown away. the six hundred eighty

kilometer road to kiss a dugu is strewn with potholes few drivers respect the rules of the road accidents are frequent. even before leaving the capital the driver's patience is tested. the two drivers constantly swap over the boot is not exactly comfortable. two more hours a wasted in traffic. the deadline for the vaccine looms. the drivers decide to drive through the night. since the start of the journey there's been a strong smell of petrol in the car still no one seems concerned. is the news

you can play and see. but oh yeah we did it sounds simple and fun to me something. with the petrol fumes might keep the evil spirits away but highway robbers a real threat. yet you seem a little bit sorry to envy you live here in france i think this is not. your member military because you thank you so much me. do you feel you got to come up with something different you gotta go to. the scots think of something if you do go about it. from. the stump is a welcome relief to the cramped passages their bodies age and their stomachs are empty. jack think.

you. can never hear from him howling you can hear what we're going to but what is known. as a precaution they wait until daylight before setting off again. by the early morning the vaccines have been on the road for twenty two hours. even so sharif proceeds with caution. that somebody may come on the idea if you met bob bob he wasn't. not. that. good judgment at these times is critical. the

gamble seems to have paid off after twenty four hours the taxi arrives in kiss a do good. but luck is against them. the pharmacy is closed the ice has melted and the vaccines urgently need to be refrigerated. someone. comes up with you no. no no man's got no no i'm going to advise you get one foot out. the pharmacist is on his way but one passenger is tired of waiting. physical want to. be no matter what it might be now you could make them out like yeah man i've got them where i made out then because i didn't know that the. little bit on. the pharmacist arrives an hour later he quickly refrigerators the vaccines relief

all round ok. most villages and some towns in guinea lack the most basic services. kissa dugu and its two hundred thousand inhabitants get only a few hours of electricity a week. the main hospital has an emergency unit that's reserved for pregnant women ok. mary i'm a nurse dashes off to the hospitals only ambulance the vehicle was donated by unicef thirteen years ago without the means to maintain it it's a miracle it's still running i'm. due to the high price of petrol it can only be used once a day. can bring us up many other. roles that.

do show to our friend girls that you know men don't profit so that's going back. to. their home this little. number that they have on there the outcomes that it's not. nurses waste a lot of time tracking down patients in the bush there are no signs indicating the names of roads all villages. are going to you know call them if you have no idea where martin luther what about. you know what come to you know whatever you know i don't know a little known about. two hours later and they still haven't located the pregnant woman. or the parking lot of her that's not going.

to make things worse the old ambulance breaks down. how much better now. than when i'm not. ok where. was. i she waits for makeshift repairs mariyam bumps into the pregnant woman's father in law worried he'd set out on foot looking for help going to. some day and. after four days of agony both mother and baby are in serious danger. of medical center i'm sure oh sure.

that does. not. help but there have been. three hours after leaving the hospital mariam can finally attend to the patients. the baby is poorly position and the eighteen year old girl is in urgent need of a says area. and. in rural villages grandmother scientists midwives assisting women with childbirth. talk to that. person to have the books know. that what.

the problem. bought them on the husband tries to comfort her as best he can there's no stretcher and she lies on the telephone out of. the open market looking for the book we're going to talk about. this is the last one you know oh now. i'm. not. i'm not i'm not saying. that's not going to step out into the beat up. into. the hospital has no running water on the operating room has only one set of surgical clamps but there is an

unease to test a month is soon asleep. this is airy and goes well but the baby isn't breathing. without the aid of respiratory machines the nurses do their best to save the baby but. now freddy said you. see if your son's birth just for the love. that i'm going for really have a good one for you but. for my last. don't listen to something the mom. four days of contractions have paralyzed the mother's legs the hospital has no suitable medicines. your best examples if i must in the end for. the world but it

was a word or do you know. what we're doing. because you can call them. without free public health care many families here are unable to cover basic medical needs the hospital pharmacy sells medicines for a tenth the price of the private sector but even these prices can be an affordable . and so the answer was was that it was. worth in guinea five dollars can change a life. maybe it's the camera or genuine sympathy but in the end of the pharmacist pays for the medicine himself. there's enough to treat his wife for a week. any longer and it'll be up to the husband to come up with more money.

according to unicef fifteen thousand three hundred babies and three thousand eight hundred women die in childbirth each year in guinea. getting medicines to where they needed is a real problem. these medicines are on their way to a dispensary in the middle of the jungle. this won't be the first risky journey has taken. the. right and if you want to be here. i don't think you know yeah be able to deal with the. front up.

over you sometimes the food news that i'm going. to tell you. about the money somebody was going. to get into monday so who knows what it would be so we're going to get a hit. right here. on. me to be. on the meal track is actually a regional road it connects kissa dugu and forty five kilometers away.
