Umar Alhassan Auwal is an 11-year-old boy from the rural community of Lawanti, Sabon Garin Kanuri in Nguru. Despite the challenges of his environment, Umar is a curious and bright child with a deep love for learning. Umar Alhassan Auwal fell ill with high-grade fever, weakness, headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting, and loss of appetite that lasted for six days before he was brought to General Hospital Nguru. Upon presentation at our hospital, he was diagnosed with Acute Typhoid fever and Severe malaria, likely due to poor sanitation and mosquito exposure in his rural community.
