Born at just 30 weeks, Durushan weighed just 800 grams. She was the only surviving one from a set of twins delivered during preterm labor.
Her mother, Taj Bibi, had presented with complications at Hub Chowki, and both babies were delivered with very low birth weight and compounding health complications. Durushan faced overwhelming odds from the start. She developed respitory distress syndrome, sepsis, and acute kidney failure. After initial care in multiple facilities, MBF transferred her to RIMS TRAUMA for NICU care, where she remained for several days.
Today, she weighs almost 5 pounds and is healthy and stable, pictured here with Taj Bibi.
Cases like this are why our NICU fund exists.
It is open to babies all over Pakistan, and serves as a lifeline for premature and critically ill newborns who would otherwise not have access to specialized care.
