Natasha traveled with her father, an hour from the village with her father to Blantyre, to access healthcare. We met them at QECH Malaria Research Centre for Natasha\u2019s monthly check-up after contracting cerebral malaria.<\/p>\n<p>Follow up visits are essential as malaria can have terrible lasting side effects. Natasha took a series of cognitive test to check for brain damage. Unfortunately, in the first stages of Natasha\u2019s tests, they began to show loss of memory and learning disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>At home in Zomba, Natasha has also faced a different kind of challenge: discrimination. The Headmaster of her school refused to admit Natasha in class when she was 9 years old. Although the reason for this is unknown, the Nurse explained to us it is probably due to the lack of understanding about the side effects of malaria.<\/p>\n<p>It would appear that there is a lot of stigma around patients with cerebral malaria, just one of the reasons we started Malaria Stories &#8211; to raise awareness and share knowledge through personal experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After contracting cerebral malaria, 10-year-old Natasha was refused admission to school.
