“ Incidentally my daughter started stooling and vomiting on Thursday afternoon after visiting our neighbour that two of their children are having similar disease. I tried administering some drugs I bought from a patent medicine store but the situation did not improve,” said Malama Habiba.

“My husband gave her some medication a neighbour gave us on Friday night though it seems as if she was responding to treatment only to become worse in the afternoon on Saturday and she died in the evening”

“Although we ought to have taken her to the closest hospital in our village in Tiga town but the clinic has been closed for overtime”.
