Anabiya A., 1

Anabiya Akter is a much-loved 9-month-old baby who lives with her parents and three siblings—Sharmin, Arfin, and Muntaha—in a rented home at Geneva Camp. Her father, Md. Imran Hasan, is the family’s only earning member and makes just BDT 11,000 per month working at a local salon, which is barely enough to support six family members and leaves no savings for emergency hospital care. After learning about Helpster Charity through its medical outreach in Geneva Camp, the family sought urgent support when Anabiya developed pneumonia with dangerously low oxygen levels, infected scabies, and severe anemia. Without timely treatment, her pneumonia and anemia could cause severe oxygen deficiency, respiratory failure, worsening infection, sepsis, and damage to vital organs. These complications can become life-threatening in a young infant, making timely medical support essential for Anabiya’s survival and recovery.

According to the doctor, IV fluids, injectable antibiotics, nebulization, fever management, treatment for infected scabies, and other supportive care are essential to control Anabiya’s pneumonia and associated infections. With timely treatment, her breathing and oxygen level are expected to improve, while the infection, fever, and skin condition gradually resolve, allowing her to regain strength and normal feeding. Her severe iron-deficiency anemia also requires appropriate management and follow-up. If left untreated, pneumonia with low oxygen and severe anemia may progress to respiratory failure, sepsis, organ damage, and other potentially life-threatening complications.
