Quote 16	An emergency	“I fell sick, I did not have the energy to press the phone but during that time I was still staying with my wife. She brought the phone and I told her to check in my phone a health worker called, she called her and told her I am very sick, and I need quick medical attention. She asked her where I am at that time and my wife told her that I am at home, but I cannot walk. So, the health worker came from the health center to my home and gave me medication and the situation improved. However, if it was not for a phone, remember I could not walk and the wife was already in fear this could make me lose my life.”
