Sadiq Y., 4

Sadiq is 4 years old, he is the third child of his parents, currently living with them in a small community. The father is a labourer and the mother is a house wife. They live in 2 rooms appartement, without access to electricity and they use water from the well for their daily activities. Sadiq started having fever, loss of appetite, malaise for 3 days. Despite giving him some paracetamol syrup, the condition of fever and high body temperature wasn't mitigated. The parents are not having finaces to take him to the hospital, some outreach we had few weeks ago made them contact us the Volunteer and we arranged for them to visit WholeCare hospital for proper evaluation. On presentation at our hospital, he was evaluated and investigations revealed a diagnosis of malaria.

Sadiq is a 4-year old boy, who was diagnosed with Malaria and Dehydration. He was admitted for 3-days and had Intravenous infusions and medications. On improvements, he was discharged home with oral medications. The parent are grateful to Helpster Charity for the free medical treatment.

The prognosis of malaria is generally favorable with early diagnosis and prompt treatment, as most patients recover fully within days to weeks. However, in severe cases especially cerebral malaria, severe anemia, or multi-organ involvement the risk of complications and death is high, particularly in children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals. Delayed treatment, drug resistance, and poor access to healthcare worsen outcomes, while preventive measures and effective therapy greatly improve survival and long-term health.
