I hope the significance of my above comments will be taken into account at Ms. Sitima's second appeal".
I strongly recommend that Ms. Sitima's psychological presentation be considered with her asylum appeal as if she were to return to Zambia, she would not be able to afford the medical treatment for HIV, her mental health would greatly deteriorate immediately as the prognosis would with no medical intervention lead to death. Ms. Sitima is aware of this and very scared about the possibility of this happening to herself and the effect on her young son.
Ms. Sitima is a well meaning, sincere woman and devoted mother who would contribute a great amount to UK society. She has used scarce NHS services with respect and gratitude and is clearly intelligent, wishing to give something back to the country".
