To say that Maryam Hassan’s life has been hard is an understatement. From the age of nine, she suffered from constant pain and fever, then came a loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea, and even swollen feet. She was living with her grandparents who tried to treat her with herbal remedies, but she did not recover, so they took her to a local pharmacist who pushed them to seek proper medical care at the hospital.
