Physiotherapy patient treated by Rita


Physiotherapy patient

Ng’amah Talib Mee’amrah

Ng’amah came to ADRA in Hais about 6 months ago suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and complaining of extreme stiffness and swelling in the joints. She had difficulty walking and had spent a good deal of time in bed. Previous visits to the local hospital as well as in Hodeidah and in Sana’a had failed to provide relief and Ng’amah had even tried a witch or magician doctor. She heard from others about the benefits of the ADRA program and came to visit Rita who heads the ADRA physiotherapy clinic.

Rita gave Ng’amah daily or twice weekly electro therapy, massages an anti inflammatory crème, as well as some aqua balancing and gradually Ng’amah is beginning to walk and move her hands. She is very grateful.

Ng’amah is a single woman of 30 years living with her family and she wants to help her mother earn income by selling perfume. She has a sewing machine at home and has taken a course of learning from Dina.
