Now that we’ve moved to the new facility we’re seeing and treating a record number of malaria cases. 557 cases in June alone! That’s putting a strain on our ability to treat severe cases, which need special expensive drugs such as Artesun, an injectable treatment based on a person’s weight. In the coming weeks we’ll be opening our in-patient ward specializing in advanced malaria in children. Currently we’re using about one hundred units of Artesun per month with expectations of a significant rise once the ward is open. With malaria being one of the leading causes of death in children here in Bududa District we want to be sure we offer the best possible care to the most vulnerable among us. This can be done more effectively with your support.
