“I work at the airport so when the corona virus pandemic broke out, I got very scared because i always deal with travelers and foreigners and so my risk of catching the corona virus disease was very high. To prevent getting infected by the corona virus disease, i started preparing concoctions from neem tree and other herbs and drinking them every day until one day, i became so weak , lost appetite and couldn’t sleep. I was rushed to the hospital and my lab tests revealed that I had gotten liver injury. All my liver enzymes were extremely high .they did all laboratory investigations to find out whether my liver injury could be caused by hepatitis B, C, HIV or any other infection but they couldn’t find anything so they didn’t put me on treatment. So I started reading more about Liver disease online and I found Dr Boateng of Likip Foundation. He advised me on the dangers of self medication and how it causes liver disease. He suggested other alternative treatments that worked very well for me. I have now regained my strength . I have also started education my colleagues about self medications. Thanks to Likip Foundation for the support.”
