Children bring hope, laughter, and color into the world—but when they fall sick, the fear a family feels is unlike any other. At Michoes Medical Centre, we are dedicated to giving children not just treatment, but a safe, comforting experience that helps them recover with confidence.
From newborn babies to energetic teenagers, every young patient is a story of courage. Today, we share a few of those stories—moments that show why Michoes is a trusted home for paediatric care.
Baby Grace — A Fight Against Pneumonia
At just eight months old, Baby Grace arrived in our emergency room struggling to breathe. Her tiny chest rose and fell too quickly, her mother trembling as she carried her in.
The paediatric team acted fast. Oxygen. Nebulization. Intravenous antibiotics. Continuous monitoring.
Nurse Peace recalls,
“She was so small, but her strength amazed us.”
For three days, Grace battled pneumonia. By day four, she smiled. By day six, she laughed for the first time since falling ill.
When her mother hugged our team goodbye, she whispered,
“Thank you for giving me back my baby.”
Stories like Grace’s are why we do what we do.
The Malnutrition Recovery Program
In many communities around us, children face nutritional challenges. Michoes runs a Child Nutrition Recovery Program that includes:
• nutrition assessments
• supplements for underweight children
• caregiver education
• follow-up monitoring
• emergency stabilization for severe cases
One of our patients, two-year-old Daniel, entered the program fragile and severely underweight. Within weeks, with proper feeding routines and medical support, he began to flourish—standing, playing, and smiling again.
Safe & Friendly Care for Every Child
Our paediatric ward is designed around comfort: colorful walls, toys, friendly staff, and gentle communication.
We make sure children feel:
✔ safe
✔ seen
✔ listened to
✔ never alone
Because children don’t just need medicine—they need warmth and reassurance.
Building a Healthy Generation
With routine immunization support, school health outreach, child-safety education, and early disease screening, Michoes is committed to raising a stronger, healthier next generation.
Every child who walks through our gates represents hope.
And at Michoes, hope always has a home.
