The child, Mubarak.. Returning to life from the edge of death!
From the edge of death, Mubarak returned to life, he woke up from syncope … opened his eyes again … smiled to his family which brought him in despair to Al-Erwa’a corner, affiliated to Tamdeen Youth Foundation in Al-Silw district, Taiz Governorate, to confront cholera and severe diarrhea.
Mubarak Sami Qa’id Abdullah, 8 years old, was taken to Al-Erwa’a corner in the Qaradha unit in Al-Silw at 2:00 AM on Tuesday, 23 April.
The health and nutrition officer in the emergency integrated assistance project implemented by the foundation supported by Yemen Humanitarian Pooled Fund (YHPF) in Al-Silwa and Mawayah districts, Dr. Omar Al-Fahd says: “The child was suffering from severe watery diarrhea with loss of consciousness due to loss of fluids … I gave him intravenous fluid for three hours In accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) regulations, he began to regain consciousness, the intravenous fluid were stopped and we took care of him till he became well.
Mubarak is one of 900 cases to be received by the five corners of Al_Erwa’a set up by Tamdeen Foundation in Al-Silw and Mawayah districts at the end of March and they still receive cases of water diarrhea similar to cholera.
Beside Al-Erwa’a Corners, Tamdeen Youth Foundation re-operated 6 health facilities in the two districts, provided them with medicines, and gave financial incentives to their employees.
Since the beginning of this year, these facilities provide public health services to over 10,000 patients in both districts.
