Kala-azar: A Silent Threat in Kajiado County
Agnes Musana from Kajiado West recounts a near-death experience of her 10-year-old niece who has just recovered from visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a severe type of Kala-azar.
This neglected tropical disease is transmitted through the bite of infected sandflies that breed in ant hills and mostly affects children who play outside.
Symptoms include loss of appetite, fever, severe anaemia, weakness and a swollen belly.
