coming up next well we're back in just under half an hour see it.

for 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. in the monkey. but today pierre on his assistant bus transport medicines in record time from the capital conakry to kiss a dugu on the other side of the country so we're going to know. guinea is still plagued by serious diseases like polio diphtheria 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. last . sunday possibly. the next challenge is getting the vaccines to a porter at the bus step of

a downpour has caused huge traffic jams. you see. my little sister from. 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. good. things are going to do. you know the sound you hear by saying hear them cannot come to simply be with you tell me to come back come back you can hear ambrose. after six hours in traffic the taxi finally reaches the bus stop a. follow up

with careful instructions the pharmacist time. and is the vaccines to the owner of the bush taxi a bass. god we're going to focus on we're going to end up on an arctic ice out there but the banks are not. going to be put in because the president is not part of mexico the fragile vaccines are placed under the front seat. under now come up is going to be very different to what you guys are going to be less about limited. government. i. gainey has no real way 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 cannot get anything done more than that it was then you are going to go yes i'm assuming that now. 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 sit immersed in that mother's mussing. the man in the baseball cap has reserved the seat. in what. was it was in the sensitive moment thinking that lucas doesn't really exist knows it is not to lose he lives there one certainty dearly departed problem is not yet here it was. finally nine passengers

two babies and two drivers a crammed into the taxi. a bass takes pride in his car which is twenty two years old. most of it was at a point i'm never. going to do you. want to stop because i think until the moment the bubble. 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 this a 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. the good news you can see. what we did to the sounds simple and fun told me something. the petrol fumes might keep the evil spirits away

but highway robbers a real threat. to use him in little would be so obvious to him to you live here in france are pick this up. your mum didn't believe because you thank you so much me do. you feel you got a police officer for you to go to. school think you do go. the stop is a welcome relief to the cramped passages their bodies a and their stomachs are empty. jets think only. you. can give them mentality you will believe what we're going to be what road 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 pounds. even so sharif proceeds with caution. when. they come on the idea of beat. us. now. that the. 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. but the money in the form of a bit of a move up with you know i. don't know their man got no no when you go to device you get one foot out. the pharmacist is on his way but one passenger is tired of waiting. but i think it might be that big open your mind what you might be not you couldn't make them up like yeah man i've got them well i'm sure they're out there because i'm not like that i didn't know that over and over again now but i. get on. 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 to keep. it that 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. jus to the high price of petrol it can only be used once a day. can bring us up and the thing that struck me was that. duchamp there are the front girls that you know men don't profit so that's going back to their set up and run.

all these little. that number it that they're what they're the outcomes that it's out now the. nurses waste a lot of time tracking down patients in the bush there are no signs indicating the names of roads all villages. going to you know coma if you haven't got it right now where martin were bottom of the. book under you know what i mean i don't know i know a little known about. two hours later and they still haven't located the pregnant woman. come into the parking lot of her house that was not going. to make things worse the old ambulance breaks down. oh someone come up and do it now. but did anybody say but if you did. dishes

out of court of course talking about it will not. be thought of. oh no madonna no worry about how much money. i got for her. you know. 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 with going to. the medicare. medicaid. services some day and i'm not. after four days of agony both mother and baby are in serious danger from the little bit of medical center. because i'm just. not that much. there but given. that.

i'm. three hours after leaving the hospital merriam can finally attend to the patient. the baby is poorly position and the eighteen year old girl is in urgent need of a says area set. in rural villages grandmothers act as midwives assisting women with childbirth. was their. first and books help or get out of. the back up that was about shall not get the fuck up but for the. but then my husband tries to comfort her as best he can there's no stretcher and she lies on

the telephone of. the book we're going to talk about. but a lot of this is. one of the you know oh my now. i'm . not. i'm not i'm not saying. it's not. about you put out the. book what. the hospital has no running water in the operating room has only one set of surgical clamps but there is and then the statistic 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 the but. now freddy said you. see if you birth the school. in five if you have a kid give them for. prayer my last. i don't want my system in the month. for days of contractions have paralyzed the mother's legs the hospital has no suitable medicines. they are but the same as if i must. want. to but it. would do with. them. and shot.

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 . concept to answer was i was there i was 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. to get it was. going to be right and if you want to have you know what. i don't think you know yeah be able to do. it. for the. better you sometimes the food bank or. the money to somebody because we.

did you know my days over is what it would be so we're going to get on haiti. right here. maybe. the meal track is actually a regional road they can excuse to do goo and do forty five kilometers away. rather than your apologies go in and out of a. going back up in

a few days might even get him. at each ball the rhythm of the spades receives and it's always the same team. is encouraged. and like his truck stops its engine lacks power it will get to be that wasn't about it but then somebody else it will. see the minute bradish i just wish we could start up you know a bit of bond on the up but i don't want him to i could define it wanting it only

when i pulled it off he would have won i understand what i meant. and guinea everything has multiple uses. to put the what i said judy on the bus comment in the comment that i said that's. something i want it. to mean. by nightfall they've been driving for ten hours. that it. might.

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 stock. if. we say it is you believe it or give it you don't really want. the on another sample of live. 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. by the electricity.

if. free will soap operas into. got it into. the will of. this two year old is too weak to be backs in a tent. designed to dili. that's in my. name you know i'd be able to look back and.

have a good mad. they. make . me. be. in gainey one in ten children dies before reaching the age of falling. don't scarcely ever visit these remote villages. then jim in 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. subzero temperatures extreme altitudes. this is where the hard part because of the extraordinary journey from polish to touch it you start braved ordinary joy. we're too high up there's no oxygen. just to experience life simple pleasures. risking it all with kurdistan at this time on al-jazeera.
