![MSF’s President Joanne Liu meets a ten year old girl at Kutupalong Health Facility, who has just started making a miraculous recovery from tetanus, after her third week in hospital. Doctors had not expected the young Rohingya girl to survive. 'Tetanus is a disease that has been eliminated throughout most parts of the world by vaccination.' But not in North Western Myanmar, the home of this girl's family, where they recently fled from.
MSF’s President Joanne Liu reflected about why she was drawn to the little girl, as her father proudly helped her walk around the facility: “Tetanus can have such a high case fatality rate that seeing someone who survived and was walking, it’s always, I would say a victory over so this is why I thought it was quite amazing to see her walking around in the clinic.”
