Agnes lies in the  infectious disease unit of Juba hospital for three weeks with no care. It was only the day before she died that she was tested postive for TB and her recieves a blood transfusion as a result but she it came too late and she died that night.

After 22 years of civil war there is no access to primary healthcare and Juba Hosptial is the only hospital in the Central Equatoria State.
