Their source of water is the well inside their compound, they partially have access to electricity. Amira couldn't go to school, do house chores or even do anything for herself as she was in pains. Fever is high grade with right sided chest pain and associated jaundice that was noticed few days ago, she was at the teaching hospital but medical bills made them seek help from Helpster Charity, they were referred to WholeCare hospital for proper evaluation. They heard of Helpster and called the volunteer who directed them to our hospital, She was rushed in carried as she was too sick to walk. On evaluation and investigations, she was diagnosed with Severe Septicaemia with background Severe Malaria was made.

She was carried into our hospital very sick. Evaluations and series of investigations revealed a diagnosis of Severe Malaira and Septiceamia. She was admitted for 5 days, given blood transfusion, injection antibiotics, and antimalaria. On recovering, she was discharged home on oral antibiotics and antimalaria. She could now move around and feels much better. The family are happy and grateful to Helpster Charity.

This combination greatly increases morbidity and mortality, requiring urgent hospital care with intravenous antimalarials, broad-spectrum antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, and supportive therapy to stabilize the patient and prevent fatal complications. The appropriate medications were served to Amira to mitigate the infection.
