SOUNDBITE 1 (Luganda): ZERIDA KYOKUSIIMA, Patient "I came for the Chinese needle because I have spent a long time with a lot of pain. I have been having back pain that goes through my legs and veins, and I have been in this severe pain for two years. Whenever I stand up, sitting becomes a challenge, and when I'm seated, I can barely stand. So when I came to this hospital, they told me about the Chinese doctors doing acupuncture. I decided to try it out hoping that I will get healed from this pain."
