They raised the issue with Dr. Japheth Cheruiyot and Sosit Professionals, which led to a series of medical interventions and support from the local community.

Dr Cheruiyot advised that Victor be taken to Kericho County Referral Hospital for medical examination, during which a series of therapy sessions were recommended.

Recognizing the urgency of the condition, Janet, a therapist at Kaplong Mission Hospital, offered the therapy sessions and supplements at her own expense.

Journey of recovery

Thanks to these collective community efforts, Victor has made a remarkable recovery.

This was made possible through the dedicated efforts of Dr. Japheth Cheruiyot, the hospital's medical superintendent.

"He no longer requires a wheelchair and can now stand and walk independently," Metet added.

His progress will be reviewed again in a few days.
