Mother's Desperate Plea: Baby with Seizures Needs Urgent Help in Peru

A 41-day-old baby in Chiclayo, Peru, is fighting for her life, and her mother is desperately seeking help. The infant is hospitalized at Hospital Las Mercedes, suffering from continuous seizures. Her mother, Maria Esperanza Calle, explains, "They didn't give her the best care. She was even treated by a young lady named Carla Medina, who didn't provide proper attention." The mother is now making an urgent appeal to the Ministry of Health and other authorities for the baby's transfer to Lima, where she can receive the specialized care she urgently needs. The mother fears for her daughter's life due to the severity of the seizures and the lack of adequate resources in Chiclayo. This case underscores the challenges faced by many families in accessing essential healthcare services in Peru.
