Reuben Macharia, 52, from Komarok Estate in Nairobi survived the coronavirus but it tampered with his lungs.
The attendant breathing difficulties saw him put on medication for his lungs a month after he was diagnosed with Covid-19 in March last year.
“I was using three tablets of Pirfenidone every day, but I am currently using one,” said Macharia who says he spends between Sh12,000 and Sh15,000 a month on the drug and regular reviews show his lungs are getting better.
