An Exciting Update on a Life Saved  

We are so happy to share that Baby Kawsar, who spent 4 weeks in the critical care ward of the neonatal nursery at AMOR’S Afshar Hospital after being born at just 28 weeks of gestation, has grown to be a healthy baby who continues to successfully reach developmental milestones.  

When Kawsar was delivered by emergency C-section, she showed signs of respiratory distress as her tiny chest heaved and her oxygen levels fell to 60%. The neonatal team quickly decided to administer the drug Survanta. This life-saving medicine changed the course of Kawsar’s young life and provided hope and peace of mind to her family. Her condition immediately improved. Her oxygen levels reached 96%, and she was placed on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy for a week.  

Kawsar only weighed 2.8 pounds when she was born, and in 6 short months she weighed a healthy 11 pounds. We are so thankful for the doctors, nurses and medical staff who work tirelessly to ensure that newborns like Kawsar have a chance to live and grow.
