Pyae Phyo is a 36-year-old Burmese man. Until recently, Pyae Phyo worked as a truck driver, transporting grocery goods across the country. Unfortunately, the demanding work schedule was detrimental to his health.
In early 2016, Pyae Phyo came down with a bad fever and was taken to his local hospital. He could not undergo a full evaluation due to the high cost of a CT scan. Since then, he has not received treatment, and his symptoms have only grown worse.
