Baby of Anjum

A Gentle Start, A Stronger Today

Rabiya arrived earlier than expected, born at just 33 weeks of pregnancy and weighing under 1.5 kg. From the moment she was born, her condition was high-risk. Struggling to breathe on her own, she faced respiratory complications that required immediate and specialised medical attention. Instead of celebration, her parents were met with fear and uncertainty in those first fragile hours.

Based in Bengaluru, the family comes from a financially constrained background. Rabiya’s father works as a cab driver with a very limited annual income and no health insurance coverage. Her mother, Anjum, had already endured the loss of a previous pregnancy, making this experience emotionally overwhelming and deeply personal for them.

Soon after birth, Rabiya was admitted to V Care Hospital on the 16th of October,2025, where she was placed under the close supervision of Dr. Sindhu and the NICU team. She required continuous respiratory support and careful monitoring as she slowly learned to breathe, feed, and gain strength. Each small improvement. However minor, became a source of hope for her anxious parents.

As the days in the NICU extended, the cost of treatment became impossible for the family to manage. At this critical moment, NFI stepped in to support Rabiya’s treatment, ensuring that her care continued without interruption when she needed it the most.

Somewhere in the city, a compassionate act reached a newborn fighting to survive. That timely support replaced fear with reassurance and allowed life-saving care to continue.

Today, Rabiya’s journey tells a story of resilience. She has gained healthy weight, is feeding well, and continues to grow steadily. Once fragile and struggling to breathe, she is now active, stable, and thriving.

Rabiya’s story is a reminder that even the most delicate beginnings can lead to brighter futures, when care, compassion, and timely support come together.
