“A new baby girl, saved by the grace of God and the dedicated team at Al-Ikhaa Hospital. Little Fatima Ibrahim arrived at the Al-Ikhaa Hospital at just 3 hours old, struggling with severe breathing difficulties. After receiving respiratory support, antibiotic treatment, and intravenous fluids, the baby’s condition improved, but only in the short term.
