Barriers to Care	Quote
Monetary constraints	I took her to the nearby clinic and was seen by a nurse who referred us to the hospital. However, due to lack of money, I went back home.
Transportation	The cars in this place do not travel at night, starting from midnight to 5 am. Before that time, the only option is hiring which was too expensive for us, so this caused a delay to reach the hospital.
Recent hospital visit	I only delayed to take him to the hospital because I thought that maybe the sickness was the effect of drugs he had received in the hospital… but he kept getting worse.
No notable improvement	As for the health center which was near me, I had been going there with no improvement, so I did not see any need to go back.
