Awareness-building drama tackles measles

Scene one: The careless mother spends most of her time at a drinking spot while her maid struggles with a young boy child infected with a highly infectious disease.  It is measles.

Scene two: The child meets his death because he was not taken to a health facility for a measles vaccination, Vitamin A supplement and a de-worming exercise. Instead, the child was taken to a traditional healer. This development resulted in the breaking of the family fibre after the husband decided to leave his irresponsible wife.
