Additional Information / Shotlist IMG1

In Magaria’s paediatric unit in Niger ...

... a patient’s life is hanging by a thread

Souley suddenly lost his appetite, developed a fever and started having diarrhoea.

IMG 2

He comes from a small village in Nigeria where he is cared for by his aunt.

When he fell sick, she took him to a hospital in Nigeria but he didn’t get the help he needed.

IMG 3

However, there were rumours about a good paediatric clinic in Magaria, so they set off to cross the border …

... like the other 30–35% of patients in the paediatric unit who come from Nigeria.

Souley’s condition continued to deteriorate.

And neither his mother nor his aunt thought he would survive the trip.

IMG5

Souley is admitted to intensive care …

… and he will have to stay in the paediatric unit for a while.

The therapeutic milk he is given will help him regain his strength.

Without the hospital in Magaria, things could have ended very differently.
