It strikes vast numbers during the rainy season and immediate hospitalisation and treatment is essential. </div> <div> However many victims do not recognise the severity of their worsening condition and they delay their arrival at hospital for many days. The hospital staff are then faced with treating an extremely sick patient where survival is very unlikely. </div> <div> Basic health care education would dramatically improve the survival rate of the victim if they were able to recognise the symptoms and immediately seek medical attention.</div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="176" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 143 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="731a8890.jpg" border=0 width="168" height="137" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div> A cannula in place.</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> During the malaria season patient numbers on the wards increase alarmingly and four to a bed on the children's ward is a common practice.</div> <div> What is a cannula? it is a 40 pence surgical instrument that inserts into the vein to administer drugs and medication. Cannula's are required in large quantities throughout the year however during the Malaria season demand is massive. It is the difference between 'Life and Death' when treating any condition that requires intravenous medication.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="310" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 179 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="73530ac0.jpg" border=0 width="304" height="172" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> Lamin ~ Save a Life for less than 40 pence</div> <div> Life is so precious and yet can be lost so cheaply. This little boy, Lamin with malaria, he died just a few minutes after this photograph was taken. Why, because the hospital had exhausted its entire stock of cannula's and was unable to administer the life saving medication he so desperately needed. So, yes life can be saved for less than the cost of an ice cream.</div> <bR> <div> Burns patients</div> <div> Vast numbers of patients are admitted to the hospital having suffered horrific burns from accidents with large open fires. Many burns victims simply either fall or pass out into the open fires whilst cooking and suffer horrendous burns injuries as a consequence. The children on the other hand generally receive their injuries due to playing near the fires or accidentally stumbling into them.</div> <div> Many of these types of burns injuries were treated in the past without using the correct dressings or any pain relief being administered whatsoever. If incorrect dressings are used they stick to the skin and are agony for the patient when they are removed. </div> <div> I have been determined that shortages of cannula's, burn injury dressings and medications will no longer occur. The Appeal responds immediately to all requests from the hospital for cannula's, burn injury dressings and medications.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="510" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="251"><div> Yahya</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="251"><div> Omah</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 357 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="5b8fa5f0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="351" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="5bbfa5d0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="349" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="510" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="251"><div> Nadik</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="251"><div> Fatou</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 338 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="5befa4c0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="332" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="5bdfa4b0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="331" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="510" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="251"><div> Isatou</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="251"><div> Fatou</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 176 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="5c1faaa0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="170" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="5c0f9a90.jpg" border=0 width="249" height="169" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div>     </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Go to: Page 4 - </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id91.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photos: Page 4 The Patients"><B>The Patients</B></A></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>(The Patients: </B><B>Page 3</B><B>)</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="id88_m.htm" TITLE="Photos: Page 3 The Patients">top of the page</A></div> <div> Bansang Hospital Appeal a UK registered charity  ~ 1064469</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
