SEVERE ANAEMIA IN A CHILD WITH UNTREATED MALARIA, A CASE STUDY, 2014
Presented by:

General
supervisor: Dr Mfonfu Daniel
A case study report is submitted in partial
fulfilment of the requirements for the award of higher national diploma (HND) in
nursing at the end of three years of studies in nursing. This case study was
carried out at the Regional Hospital Bamenda from 27 October to 5 December
2014. It was presented to the jury in April 2015. The mother of this child was
travailing by train from Garoua (from the North Region) to Bamenda (to North
West Region of Cameroon) when the child developed malaria that consequently
resulted in severe anaemia.
The goal of publishing this case study in the
internet is to show an excellent management of a severe anaemia in a child when
the child enters the good well established health system in Cameroon.
The specific objectives are to show
i.
The effect
of auto medication
ii.
The weakness
in the provision of health care facilities in long distant train journey.
iii.
The
inadequate education of mothers on prevention of malaria during a cross country
journey
iv.
The
weakness of the mother not consulting at Yaoundé before continuing to Bamenda
v.
The
prompt consultation of the mother at Bamenda in the health system
vi.
The
quick reaction and management of an acute illness within the good health system
vii.
The
modest contribution of our students in case report writing; we hope to constantly
improving on writing case report.
In CAPITOL the case study is always an opportunity for us to appreciate
the good qualities of health care in the health system; identify some
weaknesses; and propose recommendations for improvement at all levels.
