Save Newborn Lives in Syria

Thanks to your ceaseless support, SEMA continues working to offer every newborn a better start in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit NICU/CTICU.

The reproductive health program in SEMA is the central point of the service package of its supported hospitals and primary health care centers, and it always pay focused attention to reproductive health issues. For more than 10 years, we, in SEMA, have dedicated our efforts to improve the lives of women, children and families by enhancing the quality of our services, specifically related to reproductive health. We approximately perform 1,500 deliveries per month.

Recently, we were able to save the lives of triplets along with their mother although they were born weeks before the due date as the mother had been injured in a fall that led to bleeding and a bruise on her abdomen. Your continuous support enabled us to help all of them and save their lives.

We desperately need your support because newborns cannot wait to receive care. Together with you, we would like to create the future and make the present more humane by helping the most vulnerable families affected by war.

Wafaa M, a displaced woman, gave birth to triplets in the maternity hospital in Al-Bab city in northeast Syria, and this is a new unique case that this health facility witnessed after it had conducted two deliveries of twins in the last two weeks.

The patient was received to the center in her 36th week, in a state that required emergency intervention. We succeeded, thanks to Allah, in saving the lives of the three little souls after the labor symptoms on their mother had been observed and an immediate surgical operation was decided to save her life along with her newborns.

The medical team conducted all necessary medical procedures and tests to realize that the patient was suffering from anemia as her Hemoglobin only counted 8.5 and her blood type was A+. Sooner, three blood units of the needed blood type were prepared as the patient needed two units during the surgery and one after it. In addition, the pediatrician was already called upon and he was ready along with the team to receive the triplets and offer them care and love. It is worth noting that the patient is a mother of four children who were normally born.

The Cesarean surgery was successfully performed without any complications and the three male babies were moved to incubators to monitor their feeding, which was observed as very good. Afterwards, the triplets were brought to their mother who had also been under medical monitoring. Though the patient had abnormal uterine contractions (inertia), the specialists managed to deal with it in a preservative manner, and she was discharged after 48 hours after ensuring she was in healthy condition.

We are pleased to see the little triplets (Ibrahim, Yakoub and Ayoub) in a good health, and our happiness increases because we succeed every time in accepting the challenge and the risk and finally making it. When it comes to the most vulnerable and little souls, we inspire from their weakness to be stronger in supporting their lives.
