Four years ago, Moses Katimbwa, woke up with an itch on his leg. He didn’t pay much attention to it as he believed the pain would disappear. 

However, a week later, the 53-year-old, noticed a wound on his leg and the pain was unbearable. He sought medical attention, but the doctors couldn’t establish what he was suffering from.
