At my Age - Episode 1

At my Age is a show that aims to provide intervention for elderly people faced with a plight they can’t resolve because of their age.

In this episode we look into the case of Mkhulu Nana whom we found stuck at home with a debilitating plight. Following the rapture of a bizarre growth situated near his genitals, Mkhulu was referred to the Far East hospital by his local clinic but to his disappointment, he was discharged shortly without receiving proper care. This led to his community rallying behind him in an attempt to get him proper treatment but all was in vain. Whose responsibility is it to ensure hospitals do their job? What does an elder do when suffering neglect by a facility that is supposed to care them? Where does one go when faced with this kind of situation?
