Strengthening global health and child survival to provide a better future for all

When tasked with writing a blog post that would be published in the middle of November, my first thought was, “Perfect, easy – everyone loves a post that is comforting, moving and inspiring during the season of giving thanks!” When I learned the blog post topic was global health, well … after the last 18 months we’ve had, all I could think was, “How am I supposed to put a positive spin on global health at a time like this?” While the state of global health these days may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking…

Longini is shown playing soccer in the courtyard at school after he received his new prostheses. Longini is 9 years old, he was born with a congenital malformation of both legs. He was operated on when he was 3 years old. Longini’s family is very poor and they could not afford prostheses. Thanks to HI subsidising the Gatagara Centre, where he went to school for the first time in 2018, Longini was able to access his first prostheses in 2019. After receiving his prostheses, Longini went back to school to study at the inclusive school in Gatagara. He is in the second year of primary school (Grade 2). He likes school very much. He often tells his mother that it is essential for him to finish his studies, to earn money and get her out of poverty. Longini is being supported in the framework of the Functional Rehabilitation’s project.

A community mobilizer from Community Based Rehabilitation-Biratnagar (CBRB), a local partner organization of Humanity & Inclusion, met Prabin and referred the family to seek services at a rehabilitation center. At first, Prabin was hesitant to be fitted with an artificial limb. Specialists worked with the boy and his parents to better understand how the device would work, and how it would help him. A month later, he was eager to have a new leg. “This was a wonderful change for our little boy, as he quickly accepted the prosthesis and began playing, running, and even jumping like any other child of his age,” Sunita explains. Prabin attends school and loves to play with…
