A BBC documentary has shown just how far deep the rot has eaten, investigating how hospitals demand that patients pay before they are attended to or discharged.
A woman shared how after she birthed her baby she was detained in a hospital for a year, together with the baby, because she was unable to pay the bill.
Others shared how they lost loved ones because hospitals demanded pay before providing care.
Watch the documentary below:
