Friend,
When 10-month-old Bilal fell ill with a fever, his mother, Zakia, took him to one privately run clinic after another, but his condition got worse.
“In the beginning, he had a severe fever, and despite taking him to two private medical facilities, they could not pinpoint what exactly was making him sick.”
—Zakia.
When they traveled to Mazar-i-Sharif Regional Hospital in Balkh province, Afghanistan, Bilal was diagnosed with measles. He was admitted to the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)-supported measles isolation unit and then to intensive care, where his condition deteriorated further. Three days later, he finally began showing signs of improvement. “Today, he slept well for the first time since falling ill,” says Zakia.
MSF teams are treating children like Bilal for preventable diseases like measles in Afghanistan and around the world thanks to the generosity of supporters like you. As needs rise amid crises around the world, we are committed to providing care to those who need it most.
