next hour in about twenty five minutes time do stay with al-jazeera coming up next the q. revisit it. you

confident that this you can see it in there so why don't we meet. with the microchip or. blind people thanks to do so. soon but like. liberia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. it is estimated that three women die every day from complications during childbirth. many of these days are preventable with simple surgery and adequate equipment however a chronic lack of doctors here means that many maternity wards are overstretched and i'm not stopped i'm dr lewis again in liberia and i'm here to meet a new generation of midwives was scrubbing up and ready for surgery. my

first stop to see me down moments and to hospital in one county which has only recently overcome the devastating demick that killed thousands across the country. the midwives and doctors here were it thirty times greater risk of content to the disease than the general population. that afternoon growth of the under this is only one of many challenges the doctor or the don't know and his team face our judgment publish alms of all system five thousand right now i have three permanent doctors so you have. three prominent documents you want to include i mean our continue here for this it's five thousand range people wow all traditional doctors are known to do such a walk so we realize that middle level people get a big dream you know talk to our system of feeling you know some of the gaps are currently we are treated mid-level courses to do a bass of that. it's a simple but dreaded can idea to repeatedly ask good midwives in an advanced

obstetrics such as up do not surgery go to donors a miss to target this area entry midwives in months rather than the years normally do quiet to become a qualified doctor for new trainees have recently been rolled at the hospital and the dollar runs workshops to advance their general medical knowledge but today is more hands on as the trainees practice suturing a key surgical skill required in syrian sections. so this would be the end of the skin of their demand ok so you've gone through the no one side here and now you went to do ahead of time and what not does that now if the five and the surgical not. need of make sure the others die while you're doing three during a deep hole you. put your finger on this one and the president will follow through in sol goes in with. the trainees also continue with their usual duties such as would rant with today sixteen you know mary has just been admitted.

she was here on the moon is the assistance to yeah this is what she was sent only in war and she had been there this morning to send her year that she was in the room. so with what's happening now with the patient it's one of the most common pregnancy complications where you have the head of the baby is very big and the pelvis is a small truck and go through labor for eight ten hours as. is the case yeah and eventually it doesn't work chris as well so unfortunately our young mom may end up with this is irrelevant to save her life and of course the baby with naomi graduated from the program last year that continues to train whilst teaching the new recruits should be needed to this surgery under the supervision of dr i don't know. if the placenta. clothes books are written to the windows or

is that what you're after. a while you don't control. your storage floor. please. miss count in an emergency says erin and maurice quickly move to the operating theatre with a new trainees about to take a step up from their normal midwest fugitive's. the baby isn't breathing and will need to be resuscitated a common problem with his hearing deliveries. from.

the. not at the baby's breathing nyoman puts the morning suturing class to practice and finishes off the surgery. how are you feeling you know after having performed at this location and i feel confident that had this you know and can see the last one of me congratulations. babesia people. of induct i don't know that much of the tree of that but then. the next day mary and her baby angel country back in the maternity ward. head on mary how are you feeling this morning nothing can barely hear.

where you're from. a company to hear from a distance thing yet how far is it for less than four hours drive. i mean if mary had come to this hospital what if she should have gone with us they show up. there's no way that baby could have been delivered at home. many mothers attempts delivery at home with the help of traditional both attendants and in rural settings with professional medical support often i was away complications such as my muse obstructed delivery can quickly become life threatening. this access is a c.b. done by hospital every sultanate in the project to be rolled out to two more hospitals in liberia dr dollar checks in with each hospital every week. there is. no we're going to read them some hospital to see. the other bugs or bugs

just started. in the burma so everything is still new and this is a lot more visible do with busier and the arbor day journey but most real as all of its party on. the dips and hospital provides free health care to a large slum area in monrovia it was at the heart of the demick which killed one hundred eighty four doctors throughout the country and had to be shut down when it became violent. patience intense recently opened. the narratives i meet the man to meet team made by hand and graduates of the toxic stew program and now a supervisor of the other trainees how many syrians have you done even counting yeah more than one race more than one hundred feet and look at you so well that i've. got a long wait for the data coming or scrap i'll make it brilliant by the bishop but

if i have a patient believing is that this should come in on the weather stat. in the middle of a conversation and i was told that one of his just going into labor as we go into theatre the generator goes down. dr don it's quite hard to. see the lights of ok so they've been powered the moment. i mean i can see now what about the trainees are taking charge they're quite you know in control. you. could set off lands on the baby or. to. watch as a. how do you find working you know in this environment at the gibson. it's very hard to

go in if we had been electricity on no air conditioning no fan is not because you always already in the will she i mean disco when she feeling hot indeed nice is what the mayor i did yes seventy out there would not be a what the one he thought a bishop got into something that when you go is it out to go out even if you want to be a bit wild and then come by with an enormous case load and a high number of pretty messy complications and this team all must raised and i must often. sometime we have broken with a stopover you believe i have used you know all of would you believe only somebody easter manticore you have to improvise twenty i'm sometime in the hearts you do surgery with a touch like yes. the light is out and in a saying you have a thing now which. charities is a bitch shield you made it use other men when i did not repeat that is what it

will and this is where terri should i have to go she just are having one trash. mari's about two both twins but both babies are preached meaning that in the wrong position she will have to be taken for their own section. and now works quickly and out comes the first baby. born a shock by the second but both babies on grieving. what is it yes it is. minutes pass and the baby still breathing properly. to get his meal.

or grab it was. very hard to watch or do anything. for some. while and yet you concentrate on mom the rest of the team work on resuscitate in the baby's war. my love is all over the whole body why don't you let me join in and save money in the long run when noon to noon. on the fourth finally the first baby's doesn't leaving. and after a fix.
