In moments of despair that may overcome any mother on the verge of losing her newborn, we are there, just like the case of this woman who visited one of our hospitals in northern Syria with a history of calcification, previous cesarean sections, and fetal distress during birth, with delayed crying and blueness. The newborn required advanced medical care, despite the limited medical resources in the hospital and the absence of a vacancy for the infant. A nasogastric tube was inserted, and intravenous resuscitation was performed, relying on backup equipment, as there was no dedicated neonatal intensive care unit in this hospital. After four hours, the baby managed to breathe spontaneously, was weaned from the ventilator, placed in an incubator, and had a nasal cannula inserted, with close medical monitoring and requests for radiological images and tests.
On the fourth day, the baby developed seizures, which were promptly managed with anticonvulsant medications. During this period, the feeding volume was increased, while ensuring continued breastfeeding. On the 11th day, the newborn was discharged in a stable condition but continues to be monitored in our clinics.
You have created the life of this newborn and her family with your generosity and boundless kindness. Let's continue to support the lives of newborns every day.
