full many in the west african country of guinea life can be quite a struggle. a quarter of the country is covered in forest and the government has neglected roads and basic services. constant delays paralyze the

nation's economy. and yet guinea is a rich country rich on gold and diamonds. but most canadians never see the benefit. of the douglas today pierre and his assistant transport meds. in record time from the capital conakry to kiss a do go on the other side of the country so we're going to know. guinea is still plagued by serious diseases like polio difference here and rabies. the pharmacy's primary concern is delivering the vaccines to where they're needed before the climate spoils them. with no refrigerated truck or ice balls packed his vaccines in

a box with just enough ice for the trip. having come on. focus on the bus and then. the next challenge is getting the vaccines to a porter at the bus step of a downpour has caused huge traffic jams. common bus routes we did see one of my letters a. guinea's capital conakry is at a standstill. the taxis stuck in traffic for hours. vendors and beggars try to make the most of the situation. going on don't it was a little things are going to get. your nose out of your bus and hear them to not

understand who was here to tell me about the meeting and get those. after six hours in traffic the taxi finally reaches the bus to. follow with careful instructions the pharmacist hands the vaccines to the owner of the bush taxi a bus. it was going to go for the fun with under the money they are contacted by the banks that are about. one hundred people to look at the president to decide on what is next to the fragile vaccines are placed under the front seat. of the. under now come on mama so if you know they're very good at what you do when you. it was so then interesting to hear less about. everything.

gainey has no railway on planes or 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 a baby. not yet if you don't want to and you know it was then you are going to go yes some of that means that. the driver feel sorry for her and a 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. mother's mussing. the man in the baseball cap has reserved the seat. in what was this was you know the sensitive moment thinking that this doesn't really exist

you know is it is the never. going to do me if i'm going to fix this up because something come to me at the moment the double. the passengers with the vaccine has 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 might as well be thrown away the six hundred ninety 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 drivers 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 lance. but yes we did decide to put my foot in front of me something. on. the petrol fumes might keep the evil spirits away but highway robbers a real threat. yet you seem a little bit too savvy to end it you live here in france our pick this up. your

member military because the bank is on the money. this deal you got a police officer for you you got to follow this guy think it could be due to. the stop is a welcome relief to the cramped passengers their bodies aig and their stomachs are empty. you. have got to give them how they want you. to do 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. even so sharif proceeds with caution. meant that money meant you got to be on your feet. but now. that you know. 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. the money going to

come up with you know. none of them got no no way to get one foot out. the pharmacist is on his way but one passenger is tired of waiting. their physical. look at me now you could make them out like you ma'am you got them where. the little kid on the other end of. the pharmacist arrives an hour later he quickly refrigerate the vaccines relief all around. most villages and some towns in guinea lack the most basic services. kissa do go and it's 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 and down the. roads that. do show to our friend girls that you know men don't profit. but going back. to. their home this little. number that they have on there the outcomes that.

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 haven't already wherever. you go put them to you know what have you not done. i don't know 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. the man. now. if i think you did. have to shift out of court of course i'm going to have. to do. know we're going to have much more. ok.

no no no no no no. 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 we're going to. recess some day and. after four days of agony both mother and baby are in serious danger from one of them but they have met several of them sure oh sure. that it's. not that. bad but there have been lives that have come.

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. the lesson in rural villages grandmother scientists midwives assisting women with childbirth. talk to that. person to have the books help or get out of pocket. that's what she got the problem. with that. bought them off the husband tries to comfort her as best he can there's no stretcher and she lies on a telephone call from above the open market looking for the book we're going to. this is. one of the you know oh my now.

i'm. not. on my side. it's not. just about you know how big. the hospital has no running water on the operating room has only one set of surgical clamps but there isn't any statistics among 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 you find this for now but.

in fact if you have a good one for you but. for my last. don't listen to something the mom. for days of contractions have paralyzed the mother's legs the hospital has no suitable medicines. your best examples if i must in the end more. than. the will do but it was a word with him knows. what we're doing. the goal is to 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 . answer to answer was that it was. worse 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're 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. you know yeah be able to deal with the. front up. over you sometimes the food news but i'm going. to put your money and somebody was going.

to get you to madame's over is 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 they can excuse to do go and do forty five kilometers away. by the time you're not. going to whatever. good night. at each ball the rhythm of the spades receives and it's always the same t.v.

and guinea everything has multiple uses. or what i said judy on the bus comment from the community that i said that's. something i would like. to make. by nightfall they've been driving for ten hours. from. my. the nurse at the dispensary collects the packages of meds and. he's been expecting

them for three months on the books is a quite small. he hopes they'll be enough to replenish his stuff. if. we say it is your baby to give yet you don't return to the on another sample of the. among the medicine benjamin has received of vaccines against measles diptheria tetanus and polio he'll start vaccinating children first thing in the morning as he has no means of conserving the precious vaccines. like he did. so five thousand.

got it into. this two year old is too weak to be vaccinated. design really. doesn't mind just want to save it. you know five yet.

i mean. in guinea one in ten children dies before reaching the age of falling. scarcely ever visit these remote villages. benjamin tries to fill the void he's only a nurse but an experienced one skilled nurses like him are invaluable. the village is always grateful.
