Tompie comes from a remote village of Ambovombe, where she farmed the land for a living. For the pastfew months, she has been in Ambovombe city to look for work because she could no longer make a living from her crops. Futedraza had a cough and diarrhea, so she came to the hospital for help and her child is now hospitalized at the ITFC.
