A STORY OF HOPE

Hope is a sixteen-year-old girl who got malaria and recovered. Her classmate tells her story here.

Hope was one of the best students in our class. But she had been absent from school for several weeks and we were worried. We decided to go to her village and find out what was wrong.

When we arrived, Hope's mother told us that Hope was sick with malaria. We were shocked - we knew how serious malaria could be. We asked how it had started. Hope's mother explained, 'One evening, Hope was really hot and had terrible headaches. She had no appetite. This went on for a few days. We thought that she had been in the sun too long. My husband gave Hope some herbal medicine, but it didn't help. Her condition began to get worse and she developed new symptoms. The fever got higher and she started vomiting. At this point, I was sure she had malaria, but I didn't know what to do.'

Her mother took Hope to the hospital. She didn't want to lose another child. Two years before, Hope's baby brother had fallen ill with malaria and died.

At the hospital, the doctor had examined Hope and diagnosed malaria. He had given her an injection and prescribed some medicine. And now she was getting better thanks to the treatment.

We asked if we could see her. We weren't worried about catching the disease - we knew that malaria was not contagious. At school we had learnt that you catch malaria at night, from female mosquitoes. So we were upset to see that. Hope was sleeping without a mosquito net.

We know that she was very lucky to recover from this disease that kills one baby every sixty seconds.
