Additional Information / Shotlist Magaria Paediatric Unit, Niger

Anne Pittet, MSF paediatrician

So this little baby is three months old, he arrived two days ago, it was an emergency, he was brought by his grandmother, as the mother died during the birth at home.

Labaran was admitted two days ago, suffering from severe dehydration.
His temperature was only 34°C.
After being stabilized, Labaran has been transferred to the intensive care unit.
Labaran is one of 730 children currently hospitalized in the paediatric unit of Magaria.
In August, the Magaria hospital welcomed more than 3,300 children
many of them are in critical condition.
With a 10 per cent mortality rate, that is nearly 300 deaths in a single month. The the needs are immense.
After 2 days of treatment, Labaran is almost cured!

We were able to treat him properly thanks to using an intravenous catheter immediately and then he quickly came back to life. And now he's a thousand times better and his grandmother's very happy.
Things are going well, we are happy with the evolution of this little baby.
It's okay, baby, come on, I'll get my finger back!
