A child born after only 24 weeks of pregnancy was saved and discharged on Monday, after a three-month stay at the hospital. The child, medically termed micro preemie, was delivered on August 13 after his mother Mayuri was diagnosed with urinary tract infection which led to preterm delivery.

Christened Ezekiel, doctors at PD Hinduja Hospital call him a fighter. “Micro preemies are extremely difficult to manage as they are fragile and the chances of survival are bleak,” said Dr Avinash Desai, neonatologist, under whose care the child was treated.
