Mercy, in her late thirties, has been battling Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) for many years. She is always in and out of hospital, in a bid to get relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of the disease which include the following: frequent urge to urinate, pain while urinating and lower back pain.
"This is a problem that I have been dealing with for long. I keep getting medication which makes the symptoms to disappear for some time, then the condition comes back again. This is really frustrating," she says.
