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.
