dr. flo and one of her patients

Isn't she cute .... 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 examined, because of a common cold. She still looks quite sad, but she liked playing with the stethoscope while sitting on my knee...

Although she is still very young, you can see in her eyes much sadness and desparation. Even though she doesn't know what is going on in Myanmar she still suffers from the situation.
