Malaria should be no more!

Thank you very much for focusing on my blog. Malaria no more is an organisation that I feel very strongly about. Malaria is one of the world’s biggest killers that’s why I believe that more people need to know about it. Also a child dies form malaria every minute even though every death is needless. The problem is that unlike cancer there are ways to solve malaria, like shown in the picture below people with not enough money to by vaccinations sometimes collect mosquito nets to protect them when they are sleeping when you read my blog hopefully you will feel more informed about the other ways to prevent malaria.

 

Here is Irena’s story. Thomas Sandow, Alice Sandow and their daughter Irene Sandow are a family living in Ghana, Thomas suddenly heard the panic of his wife Alice’s voice when she was looking after Irene, and she told him that Irene was convulsing and couldn’t open her eyes. They immediately rushed her to the nearest hospital where she was straight away diagnosed with malaria and admitted to have emergency treatment. Thomas couldn’t stay with his wife and Irene because he had to find money to pay for the treatment. This ended up costing him over half a years’ worth of savings, he said that it was a terrible few days and he was so scared that she wouldn’t survive also that so many children die from malaria. Only after four days did he dare hope again he quoted that he would never forget seeing his wife with Irene smiling and Irene’s eyes open for the first time. However it took a long time for her to recover, she was in hospital for over two weeks recovering and requiring treatment and blood transfusions.

 

In the end Thomas was very grateful for her treatment even if it did cost him 200 Ghana Cedis (£80), he was lucky to have friends and family to help him along. He said that his experience with malaria has made him especially thankful to malaria no more.
