Agnes W., 17

Agnes lives with her mother and is an only child. Agnes had been healthy until four days ago when she began experiencing vomiting of blood, passing blood-stained stool, abdominal fullness, and epigastric pain. Concerned and unable to afford medical care, her mother contacted the local Community Health Worker, Madam Vennesa, who informed Vincent, a Helpster volunteer. Through their intervention, Agnes was introduced to Helpster Charity and Rheemah Hospital, where she received assistance. Her mother hopes that Agnes will become a doctor in the future. Upon worsening of her symptoms, Agnes was brought to Rheemah Hospital for thorough examination and testing. She was diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori infection, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and acute gastritis with bleeding. She was admitted and started on prompt treatment under continuous observation by doctors and nurses. She was severely dehydrated when she presented to the hospital, and was still vomiting profusely.
