Zion J., 6

Zion likes playing hide and seek, swinging and reciting poems. She loves drinking milk and eating cakes. She wants to be a teacher in future and when the teacher is not in class, she likes to stand in front of the class and act like a teacher, telling her classmates to read simple words. Zion was brought to the hospital looking quite ill. She had been unwell for the past 4 days and her condition had worsened by the day. She had complains of loose stool, reduced appetite, rigors and chills and on the day she was brought to the hospital, she had also developed difficulty in breathing.

Joan was diagnosed with Malaria and sepsis, She was given antibiotics and antipyretic in the outpatient department, due to high fever she was observed for two hours in the hospital until the fevers subsided and was discharged. Two weeks later, she had recovered very well and she can resume her daily activities without pain or discomfort, her guardian was very happy and thankful to Helpster charity for the their support in paying their daughters medical bills.

Malaria and sepsis prognosis is good if treated early with antibiotics and antimalarial drugs. This will greatly impact Zions life by preventing further spread of malarial parasites into the brain cells.
