Gastroenteritis with mild dehydration secondary to malaria. This young 3 year old male child was brought in yesterday with excessive crying, loose stool, vomiting and fever. We quickly commence treatment and today he is up and about! Amazing how little children recover with the right diagnosis and treatment. I love treating children even though they can be very difficult to handle. Just look at those eyes that were formerly sunken looking full, purposeful and happy again. The emphasis of having trained and experienced doctors in the rural areas must continually be encouraged and this discussion must be sustained on the front burner until it becomes a norm. A failed diagnosis and subsequent treatment would have rendered this one more complicated and even dead.
It is in this light and spirit that the rural doctor initiative is proud to have been employed by the kateri medical services to ensure that everyone gets good health care devoid of any sentiments. RDI.. Everyone deserves good health.
