Access to good healthcare can make a difference. This
is the reason I campaign vigorously for universal access to good
quality healthcare.
It is
a common belief in Africa that a woman with a large mass such as this one may
have been cursed by someone in her present or in her past life. Some
unqualified personnel may even attempt to make incisions (cuts) with
unsterilised blades or knives all over her abdomen.
She may be given different
substances to drink and eat in order to deflate the tummy. Wrong diagnosis can
be done in the absence of diagnostic equipments. This is the reason many still
die in developing countries.
