Justus K., 7

Justus is a young boy in Grade Two at a local public primary school. He is active, energetic, and enjoys playing football with other children during his free time. Although sometimes aggressive, he is social and enjoys interacting with friends both at school and within the community. He lives with his teenage mother in a remote village where they face significant financial hardship. His mother is the sole provider and survives through casual labor jobs that earn very little income, making it difficult to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, school supplies, shelter, and healthcare. His mother brought him to the facility with complaints of persistent cough, itchy eyes with discharge, skin rashes, difficulty breathing, joint pains, diarrhea, and general body weakness for three days. On arrival, Justus appeared weak, sickly, and in respiratory distress. He underwent clinical examination and laboratory investigations. Based on the findings, he was diagnosed with bacterial dermatitis, severe malaria, moderate anemia, eye infection, and severe pneumonia. Due to the seriousness of his condition, he was admitted for treatment, close monitoring, and further medical management.
