I’m a nurse in a public hospital in Nigeria, and it’s crazy to see people die almost every day from diseases that are totally preventable. Malaria, in particular, continues to steal lives—lives that could’ve been saved with something as simple as a mosquito net.
Last week, we lost a 7-year-old boy. His parents came from a rural village with no electricity, no clean water, and no nets. He was already too far gone by the time they arrived—burning up, convulsing, dehydrated. I held his hand as he faded. I kept thinking: if only someone had given that family a net, this child would still be alive.
That night, I cried outside the ward. Because I knew we failed—not due to a lack of knowledge or effort, but because of poverty. 1 reply
