“This is a very challenging moment despite the fact that we have put in all necessary measures to ensure the patient have the best of care, the youngest among them who is about 21 years sneaked out at night and left all her belongings. We have already gotten in touch with opinion leaders and the security officials in the North to be on the lookout for her”.

“We don’t know where she is but we believe she is still within the vicinity because she is young and doesn’t know the environment well”.
