Ezi village was very far from most of the other villages we had visited. The turn out was slow allowing us to spend more time with each patient without being rushed. During this health fair I shadowed a doctor for the second time and learned even more about the native people within the villages. He explained the problem of some people within the villages choosing to use African traditional medicine instead of seeking help at a hospital or clinic. Sometimes the traditional medicine can lead to infections, complicating conditions further. During this health fair we met the oldest village member that was 110 years of age. He only used his cane slightly to move around and had great health despite his older age.
