Life saving treatment of babies by Donations/Zakat

On a fine evening, when Al-Mustafa's ER was buzzing with the noises of patients and staff, a pregnant woman was rushed to the emergency with preeclampsia (a state of uncontrollable high blood pressure and other complications in pregnancy). The Gynaecologist immediately decided to operate to save the mother and the baby, and the woman was taken to the Gynae OT directly. 

Mr Anjum is a driver, and they were expecting their second baby. With every passing month, his wife's condition was worsening. On the one hand, he was worried for the love of his life and their children; on the other hand, he calculated the sum of money required for the delivery. With a driver's income, their family barely makes it to the end of the month. The time for delivery was nearing, and he was figuring out ways to collect money, that one day, his wife's situation worsened, and they had to take her to the hospital. She needed an immediate C-Section. Anjum saw his empty hands and boldly decided to take his wife to Al-Mustafa's emergency. Things changed afterwards; the mother was taken to OT and safely delivered a pre-term baby. But this was not it; the baby had a meagre birth weight, cyanose (blue baby due to oxygen deficiency), tachypnea (rapid breathing) and low activity. The baby was taken to the NICU, investigations were done, and treatment was provided. After three days of intensive care and efforts by the NICU team, the baby was stable and shifted with the mother into the room. After 24 hours of observation, both mother and the baby were discharged. 

For some, it may be a 3-day story, but for the family, it was a battle of life and death, and Alhamdulillah, it was a win once again. Hats off to these NICU heroes who fight with unseen enemies and save little angels, and hats off to the kind people such as you, who send us their generous support from faraway lands to help save these babies.
