In September, 2020, I went to the largest government owned health institution as my late Father was unwell, after doing the Vitals at OPD we were referred to ART for further diagnostics/investigations we did X-ray of the chest and abdomen and blood sample was also taken. But the results were okay then we were advised to go for a CT scan upon registration we were told that they will give us a date on when to do the scan of which they did, when I was about to leave the desk one of the attendant followed me and tipped of the procedure of CT scan which involved waiting for a month after doing the scan.

During the time no medication is given awaiting results and as a person who desperately needed my father to be well, I got interested in what he was saying and asked if there was any other way in which the process can be done, shockingly he asked for a K2,000($88.32) and promised that the results would be out the same day, unfortunately I had no money because the little I had is what I paid for the same CT scan, truly the results took 40days before they were released to me and all this while my father was on a sick bed awaiting medication which depended on the said results, two days later I lost him(Father).

If there was no corruption my father would be alive today
