Build A COMMUNITY Birth Center,

Our community was thrown into panic when 3 year old boy died. This is a community with no health care center, the only available hospital is miles away.

Our organization has hoped for donors and volunteers to support the construction and provision of midwifery facilities to help the birth and treatment for malaria among young children.

It's very painful and very unfortunate. It came a s a very big shock, the parents who lost this child were a young couple, and this was their second child they lose to malaria.

Their first child died at age one, at home, didn't get the chance to get to hospital. Reason, no nearby health facility, and this young parents, live in serious poverty level.

Second child also died of cerebral malaria complicated by a serious undiagnosed bacterial infection

It was reported that. A three year old boy came to a health center after 3 days of fever, severe headache, vomiting and thirst. He was diagnosed with malaria and started on malaria treatment.

However, he kept getting worse over the next day. He was sent from the health center to a referral hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, he was unresponsive and could not be resuscitated.

Uncovering the Cause

laboratory tests confirmed the presence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The child’s blood culture after death was positive for three different bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae. Tests of his blood and tissues also showed evidence of several organisms. In this case, pathologists examined the child’s tissues and determined that the true cause of his serious bacterial infection was Streptococcus pneumoniae in addition to confirming the diagnosis of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum.

Medics confirmed that this young boy’s cause of death was cerebral malaria along with a serious bacterial infection that complicated his course.

Public Health Implications

Malaria remains an important cause of child mortality for previously healthy children in much of the world. Efforts are ongoing to prevent children from getting malaria. When children do get malaria,the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that those who have signs of severe malaria receive antibiotics for the possible complication of serious bacterial infection in addition to malaria medication. Children with severe malaria may also need faster transfer of their care to a referral facility if they are stable. This case shows the importance of rapid recognition of severe malaria so that appropriate care can be given.

For 9ur case, the community needs urgently, a health care facility to help mother's and children get timely response and medical treatment for malaria and other 6 killer diseases.

We appeal to any interested SPONSORS and volunteers, partners to consider building a good health Care facility for this vulnerable community.

This partnership will help!

Understanding the relationship between malaria infection risk and disease outcomes represents a fundamental component of morbidity and mortality burden estimations. Contemporary data on severe malaria risks among populations of different parasite exposures are scarce. Using surveillance data, we compared rates of paediatric malaria hospitalisation in areas of varying parasite exposure levels.

Conclusion
Malaria hospitalisation rates remain high in Uganda particularly among young children. The incidence of hospitalized malaria in different locations in Uganda appears to be influenced by past parasite exposure, immune acquisition, and current risks of infection. Interruption of transmission through vector control could influence age-specific severe malaria risk.
