dr. flo and one of her patients

Isn't she cude .... This girl is 18 months old.

Her Mom took her to the clinic because of malnutrition and general weakness. Her father died 6 months ago and the family has not enough money for proper food- that's why her belly is big and puffed. In addition to that, she has a fungal infection of the body, but we have no treatment for 'tinea corporis' for children in the clinic.

Tears were running down her face while her Mom got examinated, because of a common cold. She's still looks quite sad, but she liked it playing with the stethoskope sitting on my knee...

Although she is still very young, you can see in her eyes much sadness and desperateness- even without knowing what is going on in Myanmar, but suffering from the situation- as one of the many innocent people who were born in a country without a certain future, not mentioning the healthe care at all....
