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.   

 “The pain became unbearable and this forced me to visit a local health facility,” said Katimbwa, at his home in Emmutsuru village in Luanda sub-County.
