Life saving treatment of babies by Donations/Zakat

In a humble neighbourhood, a family faced unimaginable challenges when their newborn, baby Zara, was born. At just 19 days old, Zara struggled with severe health complications, including Acute Renal Failure (ARF), Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS), and Neonatal Jaundice (NNJ). Her parents, were daily wage labourers, barely making enough to support their three children and were devastated by their daughter’s critical condition.

Baby Zara was delivered at a local clinic by a midwife but faced immediate complications, including delayed crying, active fits, and respiratory distress. With lab results showing alarmingly high levels of urea and creatinine, the clinic referred them to the Al-Mustafa Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), a facility known for its specialized care for critically ill newborns.

Upon arrival at Al-Mustafa, Zara was assessed by a dedicated team of medical professionals. They quickly initiated life-saving interventions, placing her on a ventilator and administering Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) to stabilize her condition. The team’s expertise and compassion made all the difference during this harrowing time.

Thanks to the exceptional care she received, Zara began to show signs of improvement. After a few days in the NICU, her urea and creatinine levels normalized, and she was successfully extubated and transitioned to feeding through a nasogastric tube.

The parents were overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. The care and commitment shown by the team at Al-Mustafa not only saved their daughter’s life but also restored their hope for the future. In a world where access to proper neonatal care is often a luxury, Al-Mustafa stands as a beacon of hope, exemplifying the critical need for advanced medical facilities for vulnerable newborns.

This family’s story highlights the vital importance of dedicated neonatal care, where every life counts and every child deserves a fighting chance.
