FAME’s Impact: Overcoming Health Challenges at FAME
Sana* is in Ward 1 at FAME with his 5-year-old son. It's their first visit to FAME, as his son has been unwell for the past three months.
Over three months, they visited three different hospitals. It wasn't until Sana's son fainted and remained unconscious for hours that they decided to come to FAME. The boy’s grandfather, who had been to FAME before, suggested they bring him here. They arranged and paid for an ambulance to transport him from the local hospital to FAME.
Upon reaching FAME, he was quickly received and brought to the emergency room. After undergoing tests, he was admitted to Ward 1, where he stayed for more than a month.
