A registered nurse, Uche Muojekwu, who was denied the opportunity to sit a mental health examination in Enugu, speaks with GRACE EDEMA about her experience of harassment and stigmatisation
What do you do and how old are you?
I am a registered nurse, and I got licensed in 2022. I am 25 years old and I am from Anambra State.
Can you tell me about your eye condition?
It is called optic nerve atrophy. I was diagnosed in October 2024. It is a condition where the optic nerve—the nerve that connects the eye to the brain—begins to degenerate. This significantly affects one’s vision, and that has been my experience.
