The Touching Story of an Abandoned Baby from Afghanistan in Mytilene Hospital

September 10, 2024: A New Life Begins Amidst Heartache and Abandonment

Newsroom October 3 07:10

In a poignant story emerging from Mytilene Hospital, a newborn baby girl has captured the hearts of the staff in the obstetrics clinic. Born on September 10, 2024, to a mother who arrived prematurely from the Turkish coast, the baby’s entry into the world was overshadowed by a tragic circumstance: her mother, reportedly a victim of rape, abandoned her immediately after birth. This heartbreaking decision led to the child being taken into the care of the maternity clinic under the orders of the local prosecutor.

Since her arrival, the baby girl has become the beloved “baby” of the hospital staff. Midwives care for her with remarkable devotion, treating her as if she were their child. Their nurturing and support have created a warm and loving environment for the infant, who initially weighed just 2,940 grams at birth. Remarkably, after only 20 days of care, she has gained weight and now tips the scales at 3,940 grams, a testament to the diligent and compassionate care she receives.

The story of this abandoned newborn has resonated deeply within the community, prompting a wave of support from citizens and organizations alike. Many have expressed their desire to help not only during her stay in the hospital but also to ensure that she finds a loving family through the adoption process once it is completed. The dedication of the hospital staff and the outpouring of community support highlight a collective effort to turn a tragic situation into one of hope and love.

As the baby girl continues to grow and thrive in the care of the midwives, her journey underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassion. The situation serves as a reminder of the profound impact that kindness and dedication can have on the lives of those in need, particularly the most vulnerable among us.
