A Visit from a Little Success Story


IMA’s staff were very excited to have a visit this year from Baby Virginia and her mother! Virginia’s mother brought her to the clinic in 2022, at three days old, with a blood infection and respiratory failure. IMA volunteer V.P. rode in to the Koidu neonatal care unit on a motorbike together with mom and baby, stimulating Baby Virginia’s respirations throughout the 2.5 hour ride to Koidu. After recovering from sepsis, acute liver failure, and respiratory failure during a three-week hospitalization, Baby Virginia was released home. She is now a chubby, happy, healthy 1-year old!
