Day 142- Friday 18th June 2010

Armorel was back at work in the clinic today, and back to work with a bang.

A very poorly child of 9 months came into the clinic this morning.

Armorel spent the day working with the girl, and with her parents. They had travelled over 400km to the clinic to try and receive help.

Sadly the child died this evening.

She died from iron poisoning after an incorrect dose was given a few weeks ago in a hospital in their home region.

It is a real jolt, and reminder of the fragility of life, and the poor health infrastructure in this country.

We ask for your prayers for the family and guidance on how we and others can help more.
