Saudi German Hospital – Madinah impressively

saves premature baby against all odds

By Middle East News 247 July 11, 2024

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.

Dr Sabri also administered lung injections and blood circulation stimulants. Additionally, meticulous attention
was paid to heating, humidity and sterilisation, allowing a non-surgical closure of a heart defect. Gradually,
Ghaith began to improve and regained his ability to breathe naturally.

Ghaith’s remarkable journey embodies the ‘Caring Like Family’ ethos at Saudi German Hospital – Madinah,

which employs the Kingdom’s best doctors to provide compassionate care, leveraging state-of-the-art
facilities and technologies.
