School books for refugee children from Broadchalke children
Edward Mika supervising the vitamin delivery programme last week
Edward Mika, Head of CRESS Clinic and health outreach work sent us this brief report as he began a new delivery programme last week. Vitamin delivery for children under 5 years and all the pregnant mothers in the refugee settlements.
- So far, 14,500 children have been vaccinated against childhood illnesses that could lead to blindness caused by Vitamin A deficiency and anaemia caused by worm infestations.
- Also, 3,500 Pregnant mothers are safe from pregnancy complications related to malnutrition and lack of micronutrients, this results in a reduction in both maternal and prenatal deaths in the refugee settlements, as pregnant mothers are strong enough to carry their babies until birth and babies are born strong.
