If I could change something
I would change the attitude of our health workers!
Unbelievable things some people do!
Amother recently came to me with a sick baby. When i asked what was wrong , she said :" Moe gotpa kabnee Pneumonia khiwala yigla"
A mother left the hospital with her baby saying that her father died that day, which was later found out not to be true!!
Another mother left the hospital saying her mother died, which was also not true!
