Jakho rakhe saiyan, may not kill me. This line is telling the story of a newborn baby from Delhi who fought for his life while on ventilator for 80 days.

The weight of the baby was only 704 grams. The baby had cardiac arrest as soon as he was born. Shortly after that, the baby even suffered a brain hemorrhage. After this the child also came under the grip of infection. After treatment, he was declared healthy.

According to the information, two babies were born through IVF at Fortis Hospital in Vasant Kunj, Delhi, out of which one died. While many different diseases were identified in the second child.

About this baby weighing only 704 grams, senior Dr. Rahul Nagpal of the hospital told that the baby was declared healthy after 115 days of intensive treatment. According to Dr. Nagpal, there are very few such cases in the medical field, which return after a long battle with success.

He told that during the pregnancy, the mother had to undergo premature delivery due to some problems. In general, delivering at 25 weeks pregnant poses a lot of challenges.

The instantaneous mortality rate in such cases is 50 per cent. Since there was no other option, the doctors prepared the whole plan and when the delivery was done, the twin baby was born but one of them was dead.
