Jannatul F., 1

Jannatul is a charming and lively 3.5-month-old baby girl who lives with her parents, brother, and grandparents in a small rented tin-shed house. Her father earns only 8,000 BDT per month, which must support all five family members, leaving no savings for emergency hospital treatment. After several days of cough and cold, her condition worsened into severe pneumonia with fever and breathing difficulty, leaving her parents terrified as they watched her struggle for breath. Despite their dreams of seeing her grow into a bright and successful future, they cannot afford the cost of proper medical care. If she does not receive urgent treatment, the infection may rapidly worsen and become life-threatening, which is why the family sought help from Narayanganj Poly Clinic and Helpster Charity after learning about their support from others in the community.

Jannatul 3.5 month -old child, had been battling recurrent respiratory tract infections for the past few months, but this time, her condition worsened as she developed severe pneumonia. Despite multiple courses of antibiotics from local pharmacies, his health continued to decline, leaving him lethargic and in a toxic state. In desperate need of emergency hospitalization, she received critical care at Narayanganj Polyclinic, including oxygen therapy, nebulization with sulbutamol, ipratropium bromide, budesonide, and injectable antibiotics, along with hydrocortisone due to the seriousness of his condition. A Jannatul was admitted on 23/1/26, received treatment, and was discharged from the hospital on 27/1/26. Now, after receiving the care she needed, Jannatul is doing well and has returned home, bringing joy back to his family. With tears of gratitude in their eyes, his parents said, "Thank you to Helpster Donors and Narayanganj Polyclinic, we are forever grateful for your support!"

With timely and complete treatment, her infection can be controlled, her breathing will gradually improve, and she is expected to recover and continue her normal growth and development. Close monitoring in the hospital will help prevent further complications and ensure her lungs heal properly.
