Esther is excited for a healthy pregnancy!

Esther comes from Kombe village and is well known at the clinic. She is an 18 year old house wife and in the past she has been treated for back complications by the MED25 clinic staff. Esther had a miscarriage about a year ago and she blamed it on malaria and her back complication. The excitement on her face was unbelievable as she was being given the antenatal kit.

Each kit includes a mosquito net to sleep under, water treatment drops to provide clean water for her entire pregnancy, a laboratory test for ongoing evaluations of maternal health, and medications including malaria prophylaxis, deworming, ferrous sulfate and folic acid. In addition, mothers visit the Med25 clinic each month during their pregnancy to receive maternal education and check ups from clinic professionals.

Esther feels that two of her fears, back problems and the risk of malaria, have been taken away. Her focus is now preparation for her baby’s arrival! Thank you Subash for giving Esther and her family something to smile about.
