I was born in Mishti Mela. Since the operationalization of the Mishti Mela Hospital, the doctors and staff have served the community very well. Previously, the local communities faced huge difficulties as they were forced to take their patients to other areas and the health services there were not good. Now they get all the services from this hospital. If the hospital is kept running in this way, it will be very beneficial for the local population. I pray for their (MERF) success.

My wife was handled with great care by capable and cooperative medical staff of the Tor Baba dispensary. We were also provided free of cost medication. This dispensary is a great blessing for people of our area as most of them are poor and cannot afford costly treatment provided at private hospitals.

My daughter age 24 months was very weak at the time of birth. We were worried about her health. When MERF’s team visited our area and educated us about malnutrition and its impacts we became very anxious. After provision of RUTF by MERF’s team her health has improved. We are satisfied with MERF’s efforts in our area for tackling malnutrition in children and mothers.

My son was very weak and sick. I was clueless and did not know where to take him. In these dire circumstances Mr Zain, Nutrition Assistant at MERF, assessed my son with MUAC tape, identified him as malnourished and told me to take him to the nearest OTP site for treatment. After receiving treatment at the OTP site my son got better. The staff of OTP site asked us to visit weekly for checkup and receive the RUTF until my son’s complete recovery. After regular intake of RUTF the health of my son has improved and he has gained weight.
