Published on June 30, 2020, Kenyans battling tuberculosis (TB) are increasingly avoiding hospitals due to concerns about contracting Covid-19.
According to reports, many TB patients are opting to self-medicate or seek treatment from unqualified healthcare providers, rather than risk exposure to the coronavirus in hospitals.
Experts warn that this trend could have severe consequences for TB patients, who require specialized care and treatment to effectively manage their condition.
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to spread, it is essential that healthcare providers and policymakers take steps to address the concerns of TB patients and ensure that they receive the care they need.
