Suggest Remedy For Hydrocephalus
Hello, I work in an NGO in Tanzania. One of my clients has a 5-6 months old baby with hydrocephalus. This, apparently cannot be treated in Tanzania, so the baby needs to be transferred somewhere he can be treated. But this can take forever in Tanzania. I would need scientific evidence that explains the urgency to treat this baby in order to pressure the decision-makers to send this baby away for treatment ASAP. Could you help me with this, or do you know where I can find information? Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have seen patients with same condition. So, I strongly suggest you, to go for pediatric neurosurgical opinion earliest because as u know this condition is little bit serious and requires intense treatment at multi-specialty hospital where life threatening diseases are treated under supervision of experts according to need.
So, I strongly recommend you to take the child for consultation without waiting to the nearby center where all above facilities are available.
Wish that child a good health,
Take Care, Thank You.
