A Busy Month

By Afia Afroze on 8.8.12

I was unable to make home visits while I was on maternity leave, but now I am fully back to work and very busy! Last month I visited 18 households, treated two children with pneumonia, one child with diarrhea and four children with coughs and colds. I weighed 22 children and counseled their mothers about good nutrition. I also assisted a government health worker who came to our village. We went door-to-door searching for children who had not yet received the polio vaccine. I have started serving families in other villages too.
