Desperate Ugandans who cannot afford exorbitant fees for treatment of Covid-19 have turned to using cannabis and other local herbs to treat the deadly disease.

They also use different kinds of leaves and grasses to steam themselves, which some medical experts say is dangerous to their health.

Ugandans are adopting these desperate measures after hospitals started charging Covid-19 patients $1,000 per day, especially those in need of medical oxygen.

With the country’s per capita income being only $912, very few Ugandans can afford such a huge amount of money for treatment.
