Dr. Jennifer Furin, an experienced infectious disease physician, shares her firsthand account of the overwhelming suffering of children in a pediatric ward in rural Burundi. Many of the children are severely malnourished, and the medical team faces a dire shortage of therapeutic food, vital for their recovery. With only 20 packets of this life-saving food available, Furin grapples with the harsh reality of needing to ration resources, illustrating the dire circumstances and desperate need for support in addressing malnutrition in the region.
It is heart-wrenching to witness the suffering of malnourished children in Burundi. We struggle to balance limited resources against the rising needs of these innocent lives.
Only 20 packets of therapeutic food are left for the malnourished children in the ward, and each requires three to survive. Time is running out.
