THIS IS MASANGA

Meet Kelfala, a young boy who fell ill because of typhoid fever. He came in so sick that we did not think we would be able to save him. He was unconscious, his breathing was deep, and his hands and feet felt cold to the touch. We did not dare to operate him in such a state. But after receiving blood, some fluids and a strong dose of antibiotics we had a window for surgery. His changes were slim but at least there was hope.

Next to him is Amara Conteh. Amara came to Masanga almost a decade ago as a young community health officer (CHO) in training. He stayed as a CHO and studied further to become a SACHO trough the CapaCare training programme. He repaired the bowels of Kelfala that were destroyed by the typhoid and by doing so, he saved his life.

This picture is taken three weeks later when Kelfala was fit enough to leave the hospital. This story illustrates why we believe in our approach of capacity building: It will ensure good healthcare for years to come in a region where this is very necessary.
