google. google glass. 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 in ion gold and diamonds. but most canadians never see the benefit. of one get it up with 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 boat packs his vaccines in a box with just enough ice for the trip. last

. sunday but some in. the next challenge is getting the vaccines to a porter at the bus step of a downpour has caused huge traffic jams. so please see my little sister from. guinea's capital conakry is at a standstill. the taxis stuck in traffic for hours as. vendors and beggars try to make the most of the situation. good. things are going to put. your nose out of your butts and hear them to not understand produce you can tell me about the meeting and young boys.

after six hours in traffic the taxi finally reaches the bus. i don't know what with careful instructions the pharmacist hands the vaccines to the owner of the bush taxi a bass. it wasn't going to be the first time we have been going down but thanks to both the branches that are not. going to be put in just because of this event it is not what is next to the fragile vaccines are placed under the front seat. of the. un did not come up is going to do what you want was there then and it is going to be less about limited. government. i.

gainey has no real way 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 her baby. you cannot get it. done more than. that you're going to go yes i'm worried about me and now. the driver feels 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 massive. mussing. the man in the baseball cap has reserved the seat. in what. was it wasn't that bad things if i'm in the lincoln aloofness because nobody is the cutest kid knows it may not be lucy this young one certainty dearly departed part

of me is not going to hear that. 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. i was told it was at apollo never to connect to me if i'm going to fit into something else i think until the moment the bubble. the passengers with the vaccines finally leave the capital. the ice meant to preserve the vaccines has now been melting for eight hours if the driver doesn't make his to do go in sixteen hours the vaccines will be useless and might 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. but the good news

you can see. but yes we did decide to put my foot uncle the selfish. the petrol fumes might keep the evil spirits away but highway robbers a real threat. yet you seem a little bit. if we can find out that this. young man did believe because you thank you so much me. for you to go to. school think that if you do that. the stop is a welcome relief to the cramped passages their bodies age and their stomachs are empty. and jeff think. you. can give them

mentality you. believe you were ready 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 pounds. even so sharif proceeds with caution. pentagon thought to be on your feet. but 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 going to them to open up a move up with you know i. don't know demand guys don't know when i'm going to advise 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 will be more look at me now you couldn't make him out i like him and i got on well i mean there are good and we got better than another over and over again. by a little bit on. the pharmacist arrives an hour later he quickly refrigerate the vaccines relief all around 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 who can't. get it that mary i'm a nurse dashes off to the hospital's 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. douche out there the front gives that you know man on buffett

a bit so that's going to baffle them up. for raffle. obviously not. that number that they want they're the times that it out now. nurses waste a lot of time tracking down patients in the bush there are no signs indicating the names of roads all villages. were going to you know coma a few weeks later where martin were both of them. were coming to 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's not going. to make things worse the old ambulance breaks down.

oh someone come up and go now. but did anybody but think you did. dishes out of court of course having fun with them. oh no madonna no worry about how much money. i got for her. oh 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 going to. the medicare. medicaid. someday and i'm not the one 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. bad 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 there. first and did the books help or get out of. the back up that

what about kill not get the fuck out what's best for the. bought them on the 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 the oh god what of this is. if you want to know my now. i'm. not. i'm not such. a slob anxious about him pick up the. book what. the hospital has no running water on the operating room has only one set of surgical clamps but there isn't any 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. now freddy said you. see if you birth the school. in five if you have a kid give them for the movie. for my last. i don't want my system in the mind. 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 work. and shop. 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 i work 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. to get it was. going to be a right if you want to have you know what. i don't think you know yeah be able to. run up. to do something on the food. bank or.

the money to somebody because we. did you know mondays over is what it was to be so we're going to going to. try to. make it to. the mule track is actually a regional road it connects kissa dugu and forty five kilometers away.

rather than your flat from apollo days going in and out of a. going back up was it up to anybody. at each ball the rhythm of the spades receives and it's always the same t.v. . is encouraged. unlike his truck stops its engine lacks power it will get to be that was about it

but then somebody else people. will. see the minute bradish i get to see that i feel no bit through a bond on the bed up as i don't want him to walk upon it wanting it only when i pulled off he did when i got it when i met him. in guinea everything has multiple uses. to put us what i said duty on the bus. in the community that's now that's. something i would like. to make.

by nightfall they'd 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 in the box is a quite small. he hopes they'll be enough to replenish his stock. will say it is your baby. give it you don't be don't. want another but sample to 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. you will soap operas into. gotten into. it with. this two year old is too weak to be back soon aged. designed to delete.

them. you know i've yet to look back and. ramble you mad. they. make. me if. there's a. point. in guinea one in ten children die before reaching the age of falling. don't 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. subzero temperatures to stream altitudes. this is where the hard part is the extraordinary journey. to tajikistan braved ordinary jointness. we do high up there's no oxygen. just to experience

life simple pleasures. risking it all in the kurdistan of this time on al-jazeera. i remember the first time i walked into the newsroom and it felt like being in the general assembly of the united nations because it was so many nationalities. just that we all come to different places but it's one that gives us and gives us the ability to identify with people when they have to fight a war but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for al-jazeera. you know like everywhere connectivity this paramount. for infrastructure in the pan and some foreign corporation is too many remain offline now a politician and tech activists are building a homegrown solution connect live units and secure the nation's technological

sovereignty to. rebel geeks the citizens network at this time does heal. al-jazeera. and for you. i'm sam is a down in doha with a look at the headlines here and i'll just say it and now donald trump says a deal between the u.s. and north korea on its nuclear program is very much in the making and will be good for the world the white house has ruled out any preconditions for that meeting between the president and north korean leader kim jong il and they're expected to meet.
