Elijah's Story
Elijah is a baby boy in Uganda who was very sick and had stopped feeding. Elijah’s mother heard about OneWorld Health's medical outreach from a neighbor and decided to travel over 3 miles from her home to Bweyale. At the medical outreach, Elijah was diagnosed with severe malnutrition and was immediately referred to our facility in Bweyale where medical workers also diagnosed him with malaria. Elijah was admitted and given care for severe acute malnutrition and malaria, and his mother was linked to a local therapeutic feeding program for continued support. “I am so grateful to the health workers who have shown us such generosity, care, and love. I now have hope for my baby,” Elijah’s mother told us.
