TEXT ON SCREEN

Decades of violence and instability
fueled a critical humanitarian situation
in the Central African Republic.

More than half of the population
needs humanitarian aid.
This largely go unnoticed by the world.

Overshadowed by headlines
on security dynamics in CAR,
another hidden violence rages on.

MAP OF BAKOUMA

00:00:33:05 - 00:00:35:07
Oh! Papa!

00:00:36:23 - 00:00:39:03
- How are you?
- I'm fine, Papa.

00:00:39:13 - 00:00:40:22
- How are you?
- I'm fine.

00:00:41:04 - 00:00:43:22
- How was the road?
- It's ok. The road was...

00:00:52:07 - 00:00:53:19
- Are you OK here now?
- Yes, we're fine.

00:00:53:24 - 00:00:57:01
- How's the situation in the city?
- Fine, it's calm.

Dr Louis-Marie SABIO
Director of Bakouma hospital - Ex MSF

00:00:58:18 - 00:01:00:20
Why did I apply?

00:01:01:00 - 00:01:04:00
Because I was first
with MSF in Bangassou.

00:01:04:08 - 00:01:05:20
So I know a bit

00:01:07:04 - 00:01:09:07
the suffering of the population,
what's wrong,

00:01:09:12 - 00:01:10:15
referals.

00:01:12:13 - 00:01:14:24
There hadn't been a doctor
for twelve years.

00:01:15:04 - 00:01:17:11
It was a hospital run

00:01:17:15 - 00:01:19:12
by a health assistant.

00:01:20:12 - 00:01:22:20
The first impression, for me,

00:01:23:14 - 00:01:26:02
it was as if I'd fallen
into a void.

00:01:32:21 - 00:01:33:17
There's no light.

00:01:33:21 - 00:01:37:12
There's only this
that we use exclusively for the block.

00:01:38:02 - 00:01:40:01
There's no light there.
There's no light there either.

00:01:40:06 - 00:01:41:18
At night, everything is black.

00:01:41:23 - 00:01:44:11
We have to turn off
all these lights to wait...

00:01:44:24 - 00:01:47:04
to deal with emergencies.

00:01:47:09 - 00:01:51:02
The scialytic is non-functional
because it requires

00:01:53:08 - 00:01:54:06
an electrical source.

00:01:54:10 - 00:01:55:04
Since I've been here,

00:01:55:10 - 00:01:57:18
I've never used it
because there's no electricity.

00:02:02:07 - 00:02:04:05
We should have a pharmacy only

00:02:04:10 - 00:02:07:20
for the block, with all the medication,
everything you need,

00:02:08:09 - 00:02:10:01
but it's a shame, we don't have that.

00:02:10:03 - 00:02:12:24
This is just the block,

00:02:13:02 - 00:02:15:07
but the rest of the hospital
is the same.

00:02:22:02 - 00:02:25:10
We're here
just for the referal system

00:02:25:23 - 00:02:27:10
and also vaccination.

00:02:27:17 - 00:02:31:17
But apart from that,
there's the maternity ward, it's a big place

00:02:32:06 - 00:02:35:10
where all the women should
have prenatal consultation,

00:02:35:12 - 00:02:37:00
clean delivery.

00:02:38:02 - 00:02:42:10
In terms of support
for this secondary hospital,

00:02:42:12 - 00:02:44:22
for it to be
a secondary hospital,

00:02:45:02 - 00:02:48:02
there are still many,
many, many, many needs

00:02:48:11 - 00:02:52:15
that need to be addressed to bring it
to the level of a secondary hospital.

00:02:53:01 - 00:02:55:18
What MSF is doing here
is just two packages of activities,

00:02:56:00 - 00:02:58:08
but the majority of all the other packages,

00:02:58:18 - 00:03:02:04
is not covered by anyone else.

00:03:08:21 - 00:03:11:13
It never crossed my mind
the idea of giving up.

00:03:11:21 - 00:03:14:03
It's true that I left MSF

00:03:14:09 - 00:03:18:08
where I had everything at hand.

00:03:18:20 - 00:03:21:22
And I arrived,
I didn't have that atmosphere,

00:03:22:00 - 00:03:25:00
that luxury with me, it's true.

00:03:25:08 - 00:03:27:11
But to give up, it's like saying

00:03:27:19 - 00:03:28:20
to the whole population:

00:03:28:22 - 00:03:32:05
"All right, listen,
I don't care about you, I'm leaving".

00:03:32:08 - 00:03:33:21
I can't do this, it's not possible.

00:03:34:03 - 00:03:36:15
That's not human,
that's not humanism.
