Ruth Juma* was diagnosed with hepatitis B after being ill for some time. Although she was devastated by the news, she felt relieved that she had finally found out what was ailing her.
"I had visited many hospitals. None of them could treat me or even identify whatever I was suffering from," says Ruth. "The hepatitis B tests were around Sh50,000 and I could not afford it.
