A premature baby boy, experiencing weight loss and severe jaundice due to high bilirubin levels, required a blood exchange to mitigate the risk of brain damage.
A pregnant woman delivered her baby in a taxi while her family opted to transfer her from a lower-level medical facility to a higher-tier hospital, prompting the Department of Health to request a clarification of the incident from the relevant unit.
Born at 26 weeks gestation weighing 328 grams with a survival prognosis of less than 1%, baby Lee Yu-ju has been discharged in healthy condition, now weighing 4 kg after more than half a year of intensive treatment.
