Active day with Malaria and Diabetes


rs. Many things to do today. Some patients came for a control and one girl was tested which Maleria medication is the correct one. There are various types of Malaria, so we usually make a test first. If you give a wrong medication, it might not help but can endanger the life of the person. Other patients came with Diabetes, still very frequently found here in Kenya. Our doctor Wanjara tries to inform the people in detail about the correct food plans. Some who do not listen come back to us as emergency cases.
