scalpel handles none of them sterile compresses they say dr the compressors on steroids is so much is lacking in the. dr coming up the 8 to works as a plastic surgeon in bogota where he performs cosmetic surgery but also helps disfigured accident victims. he lives with his wife in one of the better neighborhoods of the city his housekeeper comes to clean regularly. the doctor says goodbye to her and leaves for the day. we have them which are. full of the best but if you contrast this every day i see this contrast between my

own life. and wants going on now that in my country. i think the opportunities life is granted now come with the responsibility. of yeah. yeah when the pandemic began dr prieta started collecting donations. such as masks medicines and disinfectants mostly from big companies and 5 donors. bolland here pilots at the pacific civil air patrol for example are also happy to support dr prieto in his efforts. for 3 years. occasionally there are complications to deal with. climate jose luis ollie better those talks about

a recent mishap while attempting to land after being warned of cows on the runway he was forced to fly over and restart his landing maneuver. during trips to remote areas such experiences are commonplace with no pence's around the landing strip no tower and no air traffic controllers. fortunately upon arriving at tenby key he finds the runway empty. at the beginning of the pandemic the community was virtually cut off. there is no road leading here and since last march air traffic has been a regular. this presents a problem for the inhabitants who receive food and clothing by air and ship and

hospital supplies are particularly vital the hospital is responsible for around 20000 residents in the surrounding area. it lacks even the most basic facilities no blood reserves covert tests for oxygen tanks regional health official carmen yasmeen had none this is exasperated. to the north and i thought only this but i don't know what i'll say we have many remote areas and it can take people 7 or 8 hours to get here. and when they do they often can't be treated. then they referred to larger hospitals but that cost time and money and would have the proof fatal for the patient. if this hospital is a lifeline for all of. that we think they've been making. this woman needs help for her daughter she's been suffering from severe diarrhea for days. they even took

a boat to reach the hospital. but to her dismay the doctors can't help. that's what they want but as i've been here for 3 days with my daughter. to legit examine her but couldn't give her the treatment she needed. but the diarrhea went away on its own. people. even though the hospital has the best equipment in the area at the moment there's no running water time and again the power goes out. protective clothing is also scarce. so dr ed got it by nias is delighted to receive dr p. a toast protective masks. is certainly important down. there in the very important as it's the only way for us to fight the pandemic. that i know about it

all but it's even more important to talk to the people and build awareness. of how loud i'm not that i would there were no one there that day party here at night with almost no one wearing masks. you only really see masks in the hospital. and all that the pope but i mean i'm a doctor prieto does what he can and. several people from the area have gathered in the waiting room. where he is answering questions about a cold bit what up with him thought for. the television when they talk about the corona virus. sometimes they talk about the effectiveness of the vaccination. but over a longer period of time. so if i were to get vaccinated today how long would i be immune. and does it make a difference if i've had the 1st or 2nd chance rather. than one

with the only one with a look at this hour i can only tell you what we know so far since the vaccine is quite new but a common problem here and we're still learning a lot. but some studies have shown the vaccine provides 8 months of immunity on the other 3 with a search on with this it might be a bit more. work at the moment not sure. what and we have to wait and see. no doctor prieto treats a boy with a severely infected hand having to make do with few supplies in an attempt to avoid having to amputate the child's finger instead of putting the boy under he uses a local anesthetic with no sterile gloves or compresses the media in making that the finding inequality is hard. but when you're in

a hospital like this that you really understand what the word media spotted on that say so alas i don't know what it means to not have access to health can that be a whoop or purpose you know that i thought what it means when doctors want to help their fellow human beings is not caught. because they don't have the results it was worth of food. and they don't have the connections to the state government who are now involved. for the people here there are bigger concerns than the virus. masks play hardly any role in their everyday lives. there's not much work in the region and people are afraid of criminal gangs since the area is a corridor for drug trafficking. dr prieto feels it's

all the more important to win over people's trust that's why he makes house calls. today he's brought masks and explains how to use them to protect against the virus always asked. for was it only one of them he explains to this woman how to use a mask correctly some of it was we wanted to get us there we had about life he offers her several of that but asks her to dispose of them properly they're going to know what i thought and both of you know going to. the shows or that she should wear the. with the blue side facing out this is where i put up with a. fire. it's important to his donors that he documents his work since donations often don't reach their proper test the nation through that i was. very thought out dr prieto tells the boat driver he's ready to

set off again. after delivering the masks he heads back and. resume revokable i think of 1st they were a bit skeptical and dismissive of the mosques. but then they were really thankful it was going to us i hope they'll use them whenever possible is going to mean what was your. back in to be key there's good news a military helicopter is arriving with the 1st vaccines with 400 doses for health care workers and people over 80 it's just the town has been waiting a long time for this columbia's vaccination program got off to a slow start but with vaccines now reaching even remote areas there is now at least hope. just one little jab and the 1st doctor in to be key

is bax unaided. you. see your. doctor prieto hopes the vaccination is will change the public mood making people less skeptical of the health measures. on his way back to the airstrip he stops one last time and spontaneously hands out a few more masks. because i think i was such a boy i feel like we haven't done much and a lot is still lacking. the pandemic has left behind deep wounds. inequality and injustice persist. but the real is still our actions aren't in planning on

a steady business and i see anything ability to day we are creating hope that will . be one that can really affect change. then and there and hopefully it will help us live in a better country we want to do that i don't buy the whole. doctor coming up at $80.00 started his airlift in the pandemic. but he wants to continue it even if everyone is vaccinated and the virus is finally brought under control.
