Many severely malnourished
(grade IV) children continue todie every year in Melghat because their parents
are unwilling tohospitalize them. Myths and mis-beliefs too hold them back fromapproaching the hospital. However, doctors from
MAHAN Trustworking in the tribal belt have proved that these children can
bealso saved through home or community based treatment, bothmedical and
dietary. Successful treatment of Lakshmi SukhramJamunkar, a 23-month-old girl
whose condition was worse than agrade IV child, is a shining example. She was
treated at her homeunder the supervision of an illiterate but well-trained
village healthworker, Meerabai. Lakshmi‘s case shows that community level
treatment can work wonders
provided it is taken up scientiically
by trained personnel.
