Reliable diet
Low hemoglobin has many implications in a child's health ! Low hemoglobin due to Iron deficiency, in turn due to worms in children/diet poor in iron and conversations with parents in these camps done by me bring out so many unaddressed issues like constipation, more "white" diet - diary/eggs/meat/potato/bread/biscuits etc., loss of appetite, not interested in eating food, misconceptions about food in parents. Iron supplements prescribed by me & parents coming back after 1-2 months and telling just a simple advice has changed the child's behaviour,eating habits etc. I love these camps, it gives me & the parents meeting a pediatrician other than when your child is sick/other than meeting for vaccination sprouts a different type of conversations about children's health!
