Ghaith, born prematurely at 27 weeks, emerged healthy after a remarkable 72-day journey at Saudi German Hospital –
Madinah. The cutting-edge technology and commitment of world-class doctors at the hospital helped save the infant.

Ghaith, who was born prematurely, faced immense challenges, including a heart defect with enlarged muscles, weak
circulation and heart palpitations.

Furthermore, incomplete lung development with cysts and chronic scarring caused him breathing difficulties and he

suffered complicated gastrointestinal and other infections due to his weakened immune system further.

Dr. Sabri El Gamal, a consultant paediatrician, skilfully employed high-frequency ventilators and provided Ghaith with
meticulously tailored intravenous nutrition at each stage of his treatment, followed by cautious oral feeding to avoid

complications.
