A six-month-old Indian baby is fighting for her life at a hospital here after being operated nine times for multiple complications due to her premature birth.
Safa, weighing only 580 grams, was born three months premature to Sheerain and Nasir Khan, through a C-section surgery on November 2, 2013, Gulf News reported.
During her second week, baby Safa underwent a heart surgery along with an injection treatment for her eyes after blindness became a possibility. She then suffered an intestinal infection a few months after being born. “She had six surgeries during her first six months. They had to give her injections for her eyes and she had laser surgery. She also had another surgery to remove her left hernia and four other surgeries for her intestines,” said Sheerain.
