Thiaroye is a town about 30 km from Dakar, the capital of Senegal. This is not a place that Poles often think about, but even there, the activity of the Polish Medical Mission is visible. One day, the Project Coordinator, Xymena Dyduch, learned from a dietitian about a child who had recently been a patient in the centre. Her condition did not improve and additional tests were needed, but her parents could not afford them. The PMM Coordinator asked for a meeting with the child's parents. She noticed a woman and a man with a baby in his arms. She learned that the baby was a 2-year-old girl named Huleye, who looked just 12 months old. The child was extremely malnourished, but the cause of the malnutrition was unknown. It was not known if the girl had days of life left or just hours. Thanks to the involvement of the medical staff and the financial support of donors of the Polish Medical Mission, it was possible to diagnose intestinal insufficiency and surgically unblock the bowel. Soon after the surgery, the girl's condition stabilized and her life is no longer in danger.
