The weight of the girl was 1.3 kg. The condition of the newborn was critical due to being born almost two months prematurely. The hospital did not have modern facilities like ventilators, and staying inside the main building after the earthquake was not without danger. In such a situation, the doctors took a decision, kept the girl in an incubator and sent her to a safe relief tent set up outside the hospital premises. Maria also suffered serious bleeding problems after delivery, but doctors treated her and stabilized her condition. In this whole scene, Maria expressed her gratitude to the doctors and said that their faith and courage gave her courage.

His health condition suddenly started deteriorating during the earthquake. According to doctors, if Maria’s delivery was delayed even slightly, she was at serious risk of having a life-threatening seizure, which could have resulted in the death of both mother and child.
