Why was this 8 year old child walking around with deep yellow sclera of the eyes which went by unnoticed leaves a big question mark as to the easy accessibility to health care claimed by many? Here poverty was not the only hindrance; it was also a fear of the unknown and a lack of guidance. As the child walks into our Bhittai colony clinics, he is put on high suspicion for a hemolytic disorder. CHF in collaboration with Usman Memorial hospital ran the tests which cost an amount the poor father could not have borne.

Gilberts Syndrome was diagnosed and treatment began. Although this should have been detected earlier for a better prognosis, it was a relief for the parents who for 8 long years had no answers.
