Elas Wanja suffered severe headache and fatigue. Painkillers did not help. She grew weaker and the headache was interfering with her house chores and farming activities.
The 58-year-old from Kiamwinja village in Embu County was later diagnosed with hypertension at Kairuri Hospital.
“I used to experience headache more often, which was on and off. But before being diagnosed, the pain was unbearable and I got weaker,” says Wanja.
