On Αpril 13, a newborn baby with a birth defect was born at Sukkrr Hospital, Pakistan. The baby’s father, Mr. Imran Sheikh, was shocked when he learned that his son had… 6 legs due to congenital deformity. Despite this, the doctors at the hospital said that performing an operation to remove the excess legs is not difficult at all.
Α baby boy with six legs was born in Pakistan.
Doctors added that, despite being born with a birth defect, this baby boy is still very healthy. The medical staff also took precautions to avoid infection for the baby.
The most worrying thing right now is that Mr. Imran Sheikh’s family cannot afford the surgery to amputate the extra leg. Mr. Imran shared: “My monthly salary is only 67 USD (equivalent to 1.3 million VND), we cannot afford to treat the baby.”
Dr Muhammad Qaisar from the Institute of Medical Engineering in Islamabad confirmed that this is the first case of a 6-legged baby in Pakistan’s history. Now, Mr. Imran Sheikh has brought his son home. Mr. Imran added that he is seeking help from benefactors and NGOs.
