A baby girl was left fighting for her life after being born with half of her skull missing – but has amazed doctors by surviving.
Little Ah Neath was born in February in a remote village in eastern Cambodia with a severe crater in the front of her head.
Her mum Srey and dad Heang were forced to sell their family home to pay for their little girls medical care.
Doctors believe she has anencephaly – a condition that means a portion of her brain and skull are missing.
Ah Neath was kept in hospital for two months, where she was given regular oxygen to regulate her breathing.
She has now been discharged and is living with family in the Ponhea Kraek District.
Mum Srey said:-
“I knew there was something very wrong with my baby when she was born.“I have cried for days and asked people to donate money. “’We are poor and have sold our home and land to try to save my daughter. She is healthy, but her head does not have all of the skull.Ah Neath was kept in hospital for two months but doctors were unable to treat her condition“’We are facing hardship and struggling to raise her to survive on the planet.“Our only hope is that doctors may be able to help, or a foreign doctor may help.”
