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 gold and diamonds. but most canadians never see the benefit. in. 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 defeat area 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. for parts of the bus and. the next challenge is getting the vaccines to a porter at the bus step of a downpour has caused huge traffic jams. possibly to 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. this is going to. your south your bus and hear them cannot come to simply be with you to make sure about them you can hear ambushed. after 6 hours in traffic the taxi finally reaches the bus stop a. follow up with careful instructions the pharmacist hands the vaccines to the owner of the bush taxi a bass. god i was going to go for you son we're going down

but they are so concerned about the banks that are so much. fun some people can just look at the person to sort out what is next to the fragile vaccines are placed under the front seat. it was. one do not come up a so if you need to do one do what you want to so then and it is going to be less about limited. government i. gainey has no railway complains 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 damage than it was then you got me to go yes i'm astounded at how. to drive a 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. most mustang. the man in the baseball cap has reserved the seat. and what. was this was left by a sensitive moment the link you allude to since it doesn't really exist because knows it is not the lucy this year one certainty dearly departed problem is not just here to learn that. you will finally 9 passengers 2 babies and 2 drivers a crammed into the taxi. a bass takes pride in his car which is 22 years old. was good enough but i'm never. going to

be doing it then doesn't want to stop because i think until the moment the bubble. the passengers with the vaccine has finally leave the capital. the ice meant to preserve the vaccines has now been melting for 8 hours if the driver doesn't make it to do go in 16 hours the vaccines will be useless and might as well be thrown away the 690 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 2 drivers constantly swap over. the boot is not exactly comfortable. 2 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. but whose job it is a simple fact that uncle jimmy something. the petrol fumes might keep the evil spirits away but highway robbers a real threat. yet you seem a little bit sloppy defending you live here in france our pick this up. your mum

did military road because you thank you so much me do. you feel you got a police officer for you to go to. the scots think of if you do go but if. the stop is a welcome relief to the cramped passages their bodies a and their stomachs are empty. jeff think only. you. can if you have the mentality you will believe what we're going to 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 22 pounds. even so sharif proceeds with caution. let. me come on the idea if you read about bob meet us and. that you know. good judgment at these times is critical. the gamble seems to have paid off after 24 hours the taxi arrives in kiss a do good. but luck is against them. not the pharmacy is closed the ice has melted and the vaccines urgently need to be refrigerated. but no money in the home to open up home the problem with you know i. don't know no man 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. on the bus what physical that big will be no matter what you might be not you couldn't make them up like him and i got them where i'm sure they are going because i don't know what the over there now but i leave it 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 dugu and its $200000.00 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 miriam a nurse dashes off to the hospital's only ambulance the vehicle was donated by unicef 13 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 shaft process duchamp said the front girls that you know met their own profit so that's going back to set up a raffle. well this is one of. that number it that they have what they're the outcomes 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. going to you know coma if you haven't got a way where mark where the bottom of the. book come to you know what i mean i don't know i know a little known about. 2 hours later and they still haven't located the pregnant woman. only go back to the parking lot of her house it was not there. to make things worse the old ambulance breaks down. oh sun come up and do it now. but did anybody 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 and that's of 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 with going to. the medicare. medicaid. someday and i'm not. after 4 days of agony both mother and baby are in serious danger from the little bit of medical center. that just. popped up. and there have been. 3 hours after leaving the hospital merriam can finally attend to the patient.

and the baby is poorly position and the 18 year old girl is in urgent need of a says area. in rural villages grandmothers act as midwives assisting women with childbirth. from their. first. books how to get out of. the back up what about get the fuck out what's best 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. oh i don't think i'll put the book we're going to talk about the hope i don't want to miss it. if you want to know my now.

i'm. not. but i'm not saying. it's not. somebody who got the picked up. what. 8 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 the but. now freddy said you. seem to bounce back just for the love. in fact if you have

a good one for the movie. for my person. i don't know my system in the month. 4 days of contractions have paralyzed the mother's legs the hospital has no suitable medicines. they are but the things that if i must in the end. of. the world do what it. would be i'm doing god knows. what we're doing. and shop. without free public health care many families here are unable to cover basic medical needs the hospital pharmacy sells medicines for a 10th the price of the private sector but even these prices can be an affordable.

concept i could answer was i i i work in guinea 5 dollars can change a life. maybe it's the camera or genuine sympathy but in the end the pharmacist pays for the medicine himself but 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 $15300.00 babies and $3800.00 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 1st risky journey has

taken. to get it when i was. going to tell you about it and if you want to hear what. i don't think you know yeah be able to deal with the. front up. for you sometimes you need something. but the money somebody was going.

to get you till monday so who knows what it would be so we're going to get it. right here. maybe. the mule track is actually a regional road make an excuse to do goo and 45 kilometers away. rather than your flat from a holiday school and i'm 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 t.v. . 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 people. see the minute bradish i just wish we could start up you know bethel a bond to fund the build up as i don't want burn time into i could define it wanting it only when i pulled it off and i bought it when i got it that's what i meant. and guinea everything

has multiple uses. to put us all what i said judy on the bus comment from the community that i said that. someone here would like. to be moved. by nightfall they'd been driving for 10 hours. that it. might. the nurse at the dispensary collects the packages of meds and. he's been expecting them for 3 months in the books is

a quite small. he hopes they'll be enough to replenish his stock. if. you will say it is you believe it or give it you don't belong to 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 1st thing in the morning as he has no means of conserving the precious vaccines. by the electricity. if. free will so far hasn't it.

the. in guinea one in 10 children dies 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.
