“Medical work was making me depressed and angry. It was when I went for therapy that I found out I was bearing the weight of a lot of people suffering, and that happens a lot with healthcare workers,” she revealed.

Osunde, a trained physiotherapist, narrated a particularly difficult case to back up the challenges she had to face.

She added, “As a physiotherapist, we deal with every department. One time, I was treating a 14-year-old girl with Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) because of the trauma of vaginal delivery at such a young age, and it was too much for her body to handle. And her baby also had cerebral palsy.”
