About On 30 July 2026, Herbert was discharged after the medical team confirmed that his condition had improved sufficiently for him to continue recovering at home. His grandmother received guidance on the recommended feeding plan and was advised to ensure that he continues receiving adequate nutrition to support further weight gain and general recovery. Herbert’s next medical review was scheduled for 8 August 2026. During this appointment, the medical team will assess his weight and overall health. His grandmother was advised that failure to gain the expected weight, or any decline in his condition, may require readmission for further medical and nutritional care.
