campus.
I had this sickness in my first delivery, in Ncomekok village council, in
Anisock district, a 23 km far village from the district hospital. They were
no trained people to asist me during the delivery, so, I had three days
delivery. The head of the fœtus were out during two days and they
were no available vehicle for my urgent evacuation to the hospital o
health center. Women of the village helped to remove the fœtus, it
was already dead.
From that moment, I started to note constant flows in my vagina and
so I went to the Regional Hospital of Bata. I met a chinese doctor who
told me that I could only be well if I am urgently evacuated to
Cameroon. After one year, my husband financed my trip to Cameroon

there and had my first operation.
After operation, I could not note any sign of difference. I still suffring
from the same sickness, inspite of the operation; there were no
improvement, my vagina continued to flow and that I am still having the
same problem.
My husband and family gives me all the necessary help, as well as all
neighbors of the village. They make me happy.
