Woman suffered a serious facial injury in an accident. However, she did not seek medical care due to fear of financial costs and instead decided to treat herself at home. As a result, her face remained disfigured and permanently marked. The footage comes from somewhere on the African continent.
In some parts of Africa, access to healthcare is very poor. This is true both in terms of distance to the nearest hospital and health insurance coverage. It is not standard everywhere, or it is not mandatory, and people do not attach any importance to it. There are also cases where people do not seek medical care for cultural reasons, as they are used to trusting traditional home remedies or healers.
