Aisha I., 5

Aisha is a 5 years old girl child living with her parents, she is currently in government nursery school. Father is petty trader and the mother is a house wife, they own the apartment they are living in. They use water from the borehole for their daily activities and have access to electricity. Aisha has been having continuous cough, associated with fever, low appetite and generalized body pain. She was given some drugs to reduce the pain but nothing positive happened and her parents are not financially capable of taking her to the hospital. They heard about Helpster Charity from a recent outreach and they visited Albishir Clinic for proper evaluation. On presentation at our hospital and on further evaluation, she was diagnosed with RTI & MALARIA.

Patient is a 5 years old girl child, she was brought to Albishir with the complaints of abdominal pain, headache cough and fever. She was admitted and diagnosed with RTI and malaria, treatment commenced with injection antimalarials, injection antibiotics and other supportive care. She did well and became stable, she was discharged with some take home orals and was scheduled for follow-up. The mother remains grateful for the support given by Helpster team.

With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, Aisha’s prognosis is good. She is expected to make a full recovery, as most patients respond well to antibiotics or antimalarial medications along with supportive care. However, delayed or inadequate treatment could increase the risk of complications such as pneumonia, respiratory failure, severe malaria, or anemia—particularly in vulnerable groups like children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Thankfully, with timely medical attention, Aisha’s got the required medical attention and the outlook remains positive.
