I’ve been lucky recently to go out on a few outreach activities. Our project currently supports 2 health centres in the region, at the villages of Kashuga and Kalembe.
Today I want to tell you a happy story. It is about a small malnourished boy, 18 months old and only 6 kg. I met him about 2 weeks ago, on my usual morning rounds.
Well, it seems the rainy season is over as quickly as it started, leaving behind only a few threatening rolls of thunder in the distance. But that doesn’t mean cholera is over. Or the work.
I was going to write today about all the success stories in our inpatient nutrition centre. Everyday, I discharge healthy, plump(er) children from the ward.
Today I will write about my friend Olive. Olive was a patient at our hospital for about 2 months and 12 years old. When I first met her, she was lying in bed in our pediatric ward.
