Denis A., 15

Denis Adayi is the third-born child in a family of four siblings. He attends a nearby junior school and enjoys playing football with his friends. Several years ago, his father passed away following an illness, leaving his mother as the sole provider for the family. To support her children, she earns a living through casual jobs such as washing clothes for other households and fetching water for community members in exchange for small payments. Denis often assists his mother with household chores and hopes to become a doctor when he grows up. Denis was in good health until he developed a persistent cough, headache, fever, and episodes of vomiting. His mother initially treated him with herbal remedies, hoping he would improve, but his condition continued to worsen. He became increasingly weak, lost his appetite, appeared fatigued, and was unable to participate in his usual daily activities. As the symptoms persisted and his general condition deteriorated, a Community Health Volunteer assessed him and referred him to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment. He is currently receiving medical care and close monitoring at the facility.
