Why Jorge’s Parents Now Trust the Sébaco Clinic for Life

Jorge visited the OneWorld Health Sebaco Clinic when he was three months old. His mother reported that Jorge had been unwell since he was a few weeks old when he developed an on & off fever.

They were referred to the Sebaco Clinic after visiting the state hospital several times and his condition went unimproved. During the first few months of his life, his parents tried several interventions ranging from local herbs to self-medications but he remained sickly and weak.

The Sebaco staff immediately ordered an abdominal ultrasound that revealed a significant size abdominal abscess and they were able to remove it. At Jorge’s follow up appointment three days later his parents were overcome with joy when they reported great improvement in Jorge’s demeanor. They had never seen their son so lively!

Jorge’s parents were so pleased with the care they received. They are also happy this facility is closer to their home than the hospital facility that cost them more to travel to. They promised to always come to the Sebaco Clinic for any of their healthcare needs.
