| Testimony
by a patient who survived
Eclampsia after being treated
with Magnesium Sulphate |
—
QUESTION... What
happened to you?
My name is KHADIDJA HISSEIN;
I live in Diguel-Nord,
N'Djamena.
I cannot explain how I
became sick. A month ago,
I was told not to eat
foods with salt because
I have started to have
edema. (Swelling) Suddenly,
this morning, I had headache
and then I lost consciousness
and I was taken to hospital.
Thank you for saving me.
— QUESTION...
Did you have antenatal
care?
Only once.
— QUESTION...
Did you hear about Magnesium
Sulphate before?
I have never heard about
it in my life. But my
relatives told me that
it was with this drug
that you saved me and
my baby's life and for
free, without paying money
for it.
Again thank you and continue
into this.

TESTIMONY
BY A RELATIVE OF A PATIENT
WHO SURVIVED ECLAMPSIA AFTER
TREATMENT BY MAGNESIUM SULPHATE
DONATED BY HFGK.
— QUESTION..What
is your perception of eclampsia
in your area?
My
name is TAPROM CECILE. I live
in Wallia Barriere/N'djamena.
In our culture, eclampsia
is considered like a disease
produced by witches. Even
in 2004, one of my cousins
died from this disease after
spending 2 days in a house
of a traditional healer in
near by bush.
— QUESTION..
What do you think of Magnesium
Sulphate?
I did not believe that
my sister was going to survive
and above all without paying
for the drug. I do not know
how to thank you. I ask God
to reimburse you for that.
— QUESTION..
What message do you want to
tell pregnant women?
I ask all women with
convulsions during pregnancy
to go to hospital instead
of wasting their money unnecessarily
on traditional healers and
other Marabous.
TESTIMONIES
BY MIDWIFE AND MEDICAL STUDENTS.
"Magnesium Sulphate has
produced wonderful results,
I have seen patients recovering
without sequels and the convulsions
easily stopped."
"We do not want Diazepam
any more."
"Magnesium Sulphate should
be made available all over
Chad, not only in our hospital."
"Tha problem now is how
to make Magnesium Sulphate
available and to train more
staff in the use of Magnesium
Sulphate."
