Every Child Deserves a Healthy Start

Baby feet on a scale read 5kg (11 pounds).

When a mother brought her 15-month-old daughter to SKT Clinic, she was worried — her little one simply wasn't growing the way she should be. What followed was a story of timely care, compassion, and hope.

On examination, the child — let's call her Mira — was found to be severely underweight, with both her weight and height well below the normal range for her age. She was still exclusively on breast milk, with no solid or complementary foods introduced — a critical gap at a stage when growing bodies need so much more.

Tests revealed that Mira was also battling severe anemia and Vitamin D deficiency, conditions that quietly but significantly hold a child back from thriving.

With a clear diagnosis and a caring team, treatment was started right away. Mira was given iron and Vitamin D supplements, and her mother was patiently guided on age-appropriate feeding — what to give, how much, and when.

This is what SKT does every day — not just treating illness, but empowering families with the knowledge and support to give their children a real chance at a healthy life.
