Her eyes were misty with tears and you could see she was smiling behind her mask. Fatema, 11, first came to the Calcutta Rescue Street Medicine programme in February 2020, last year when it visited Pahapur slum where she lives with her parents and little brother.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw a scrawny looking little girl with mother in the line of patients. The girl was having difficulties to stand upright and was leaning on her mother for support. I talked to the mother. She said her daughter feels very weak most of the time,\u201d said Debu, head of CR\u2019s Street Medicine project.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/unnamed-220x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 220px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 220\/300;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/unnamed-220x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could not work, could not play, could not go to school and sometimes even could not walk. I felt tired all the time,\u201d said Fatema.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her parents had taken Fatema to a government hospital for tests and she had been diagnosed as suffering from severe anaemia. While the normal haemoglobin level is 12.0-15.5 gm for a girl, Fatema\u2019s was 9.0. The hospital prescribed her medicines and told her to eat nutritious food \u2013 but the family simply couldn\u2019t afford either.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her mother said: \u201cThey prescribed medicines of 2000 rupees per month. But we can\u2019t afford it. My husband earns only 5000 per month. How could I pay for that? We were very worried.\u201d Without the medicines, Fatema grew weaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe spoke with Calcutta Rescue\u2019s Street Medicine Team.\u201dThe street medicine doctor arranged for the special nutrition she needed as well as provided her with iron therapy and the required medicines and vitamins..<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fatema\u2019s family suffered a lot during the strict Covid lockdown and cyclone Amphan. Fatema\u2019s father had lost his work.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago she was back at the Street Medicine ambulance with her latest blood test report and the team were delighted that her haemoglobin level was finally back within the normal range(14.4).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatema has overcome a terrible misfortune, thanks to Calcutta Rescue March 1, 2021 \u201cIf you had not been by our side in that terrible misfortune then maybe my daughter will not be here today,\u201d said Fatema\u2019s mother with gratitude.
