Farma Health Services Treating Children with Malaria

Farmahealthservices Treating Children with Malaria
Koidu Town Kono District
Pediatrician Leo Ho worked in the intensive care unit of the Farmahealthservices-run Koardu Hospital in the Kono region of Sierra Leone in 2007. During his assignment, Dr. Ho was continually treating the most severe malaria cases: children brought to the hospital who had already fallen into a coma; those who were severely malnourished; or also suffering from tuberculosis or HIV/AIDS. “We were just trying to keep them alive,” says Dr. Ho.
