Arifa K., 13

Arifa is a 13-year-old girl who lives with her parents and her brother. She's currently in the 7th grade at school. Her father works as a farmer, taking care of their land and cows. There was a time when their family was financially stable. However, things changed when her brother became very ill due to kidney failure five years ago. They had to sell everything they had to pay for his medical treatment, and now they are very poor. Arifa enjoys playing badminton with her school friends, and her big dream is to study hard and become a doctor. She wants to help people like her brother and provide them with free medical care. Unfortunately, her parents don't have the money to pay for Arifa's own medical treatment.

Arifa had been suffering from burning urination, evening fevers, and severe lower abdominal pain for over a week. After initial treatment from a village doctor provided only temporary relief, her family sought help from Helpster, leading to her admission to RUDO Hospital. There, she received intravenous antibiotics to combat the urinary tract infection and pain relief medication for her discomfort. Within a few days, Arifa showed remarkable improvement; the burning sensation diminished, and her abdominal pain subsided, allowing her to return to her normal activities and enjoy life again. "I am so grateful to Helpster and RUDO Hospital for giving me my life back," Arifa said, her eyes shining with relief. "Now I can smile without pain."

The infection should be treated immediately, since it may spread onto kidneys, if left untreated. It will also keep causing pain and discomfort if the treatment is not received.
