In 2024, Chioma Odu, a woman in her mid-50s from Imo State, woke up to a sharp pain in her joints. Concerned, she visited a nearby clinic where she was diagnosed with arthritis. But that diagnosis was later proven to be wrong.
While recounting her ordeal, she told BusinessDay how the singular event took a toll on her, leaving her emotionally traumatised.
“I will never forget that day in my life. I had lost hope completely until I called my daughter, who advised me to visit another hospital in Owerri,” she said.
