Beschrijving

In this deeply personal and informative podcast, senior gender journalist Moraa Obiria explores the hidden toll of Female Genital Schistosomiasis on women in Homa Bay County, Kenya. Through the story of Loza, and insights from a neglected tropical diseases expert and research scientist, the episode unpacks how a parasitic disease linked to infested freshwater continues to affect thousands silently. Backed by research from LVCT Health and the Ministry of Health, the story calls for urgent public health interventions, including clean water, improved sanitation, and awareness, to protect vulnerable women in endemic areas. This is not just a health issue; it is a matter of justice.
