In an extraordinary journey spanning continent, 26-year-old Maria Victoria travelled to Abu Dhabi to undergo the procedure when she was 26 weeks pregnant.

Abu Dhabi: Maria Victoria and her husband Gomez Sotelo were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first child, but their joy turned to heartbreak during a routine scan at 23-24 weeks’ gestation when doctors discovered that their unborn baby had spina bifida, a birth defect affecting the spinal cord. The couple met doctors in their home country, who suggested an in-utero spina bifida repair to give their child the best chance at a healthy life. However, the main challenge before the couple was to undergo the procedure as early as possible because of the advanced gestation.

“My doctors recommended The Kypros Nicolaides Fetal Medicine and Therapy Center at Burjeel Medical City (BMC) in Abu Dhabi. After extensive research, I realized that it was important for my baby to undergo this procedure whilst inside the womb as soon as possible. This procedure would prevent damage to the brain and urinary bladder and improve my baby’s chances of being able to walk independently,” said 26-year-old Maria.

Given the urgency of the situation, her husband tried his best to accompany her, but his prior work commitments prevented him from travelling. Despite these challenges, Maria made the decision to travel to the UAE. “The weight of this new reality was overwhelming. However, I firmly placed my faith in God and embarked on this uncharted path,” she added.

With the support of doctors and dear friend by her side, Maria embarked on this extraordinary journey, hoping to provide her unborn child with the best possible care. BMC expedited Maria’s visa and other travel arrangements and in 14 days she reached Abu Dhabi for the procedure. To minimize any further delays, medical teams in the UAE and her home country collaborated to conduct essential scans and tests on Maria before she left her home country.

According to Dr. Mandeep Singh, Consultant, Fetal Maternal Medicine and Fetal Surgeon, who led the team of doctors, performing the procedure at an earlier stage is more favorable for the baby since it minimizes potential damage to the spinal cord.

“It is well understood that the spinal canal defect should be ideally closed before 26 weeks. In fact, it’s technically possible to perform the procedure up to 29 weeks, but the critical question is whether it would genuinely benefit the baby. This is precisely why it’s imperative to act as early as possible,” said Dr. Mandeep.

According to Dr. Mandeep, in-utero spina bifida repair in the womb has been shown to significantly reduce risk of deficiency in physical ability and hence improve the baby’s chances for a better future. The procedure involves operating on the fetus while still in the womb to repair the spinal defect and reduce the risk of complications that can occur with open spinal surgery after birth.

Upon her arrival at BMC, Maria was welcomed by a team of highly skilled and compassionate medical professionals who were ready to perform the delicate in-utero spina bifida repair. Apart from Dr. Mandeep, the multidisciplinary team included Dr. Mauricio Herrera, visiting physician and renowned fetal surgeon, Dr. Essam Elgamal, Consultant Neurosurgery, Dr. Rajasekhar Cingapagu, Specialist Pediatric Surgery, Dr. Ahmed Omran, Consultant, Anesthesia, and specially trained operation theatre staff.

A Challenging, Large Defect

The 5-hour long procedure was challenging due to the nature of the defect as it was a large defect. “Smaller defects typically span two to three segments of vertebral bodies. In contrast, larger defects encompass more than four segments of vertebral bodies. Closing these larger defects can pose greater challenge for neurosurgeons due to the size and deficient skin available to close the defect,” said Dr. Mandeep.

Additionally, there’s a constraint of time when performing the closure because of the constant manipulation of the uterus, risk of preterm labor and placenta separation. This limited timeframe makes the closure process more demanding, particularly in the case of large defects, which always present a significant challenge, according to the doctor. “However, the procedure went well, and we managed to close the defect successfully and there were no complications during the procedure,” added Dr. Mandeep.

Hopeful after the positive outcome, Maria expressed her deep gratitude to the medical team at BMC, the UAE leadership and the organization that made her journey possible, and her steadfast friend and family who offered support throughout this challenging ordeal.

After successfully undergoing the recovery process at BMC, Maria has returned to her home country for delivery.

In a heartwarming achievement, Alfai Al Marzooqi has etched her name in history as the youngest female to publish a book in Guinness World Records. This extraordinary feat was announced at Burjeel Hospital Abu Dhabi, where Alfai was born.

The hospital facilitated the publication of her book and the subsequent recognition by Guinness World Records.

The five-year-old’s journey into the literary world began with a collection of imaginative drawings that transformed into a published book, highlighting the friendship shared among children. Her book ‘The Lost Rabbit’ revolves around themes of compassion, love for animals, and the importance of caring for one another. The characters in her story, Alfai, Salma, her friend, and the latter’s lost rabbit, Fufu, take readers on a heartwarming journey of friendship and kindness.

The book was not only written but also illustrated entirely by Alfai herself, who has already showcased her work at various book fairs.

Eminent Emirati writer Mariam Nasser, officials of the Emirates Heritage Club, Omran Al Khoori, Member of the Board of Directors and President of Business Development, Burjeel Holdings, and Waleed Tawfik, Chief Operations Officer, Burjeel Hospital, presented her the Guinness Certificate at the event. Alfai also signed copies of her book to the children at the event.

Omran expressed the hospital’s pride in supporting Alfai’s global achievement. “Alfai is a daughter of this hospital, and we all know her and her skills from her childhood. We decided to help her achieve her dream of publishing this book and facilitate her entry into the Guinness Book of Records. At Burjeel, we are committed to nurturing these young talents, enabling them to build themselves and the country,” Omaran said.

Alfai’s mother, Teeb Al Barri, shared that her daughter’s passion for storytelling emerged at the tender age of two. She loved to listen to the stories that her mother read to her before bed and would ask thought-provoking questions. “She would always ask me strange questions, like ‘How old is the tree’ and ‘Do roses laugh’? She was not interested in TV or tablets like other children but was focused on books,” said her mother.

Teeb revealed that it took just three days for Alfai to write, draw, and colour the entire story of ‘The Lost Rabbit’, showcasing her exceptional creativity and dedication.

Alfai, currently in first grade, aspires to be an international fashion designer, drawing inspiration from her love of reading and storytelling. In pursuit of this dream, the family has launched the exclusive ‘Tell and Tale’ brand, showcasing Alfai’s unique and artistic fashion pieces.

Alfai’s father, Yaqoub Al Marzooqi, expressed immense pride in his daughter’s achievement. “We all feel proud as we worked for several months on this title and collaborated with many parties, including Dar Sama for publishing and distribution to ensure we reached audiences at book fairs.”

The Al Marzooqi family’s commitment to fostering talent also extends to Alfai’s four-year-old brother, Hamad Al Marzooqi, who is aiming to set the Guinness Record for the youngest Emirati chef and entrepreneur in the children’s category. The family’s collective support continues to shape the remarkable journeys of their young ones.

Chronic kidney disease patient grateful to donor’s family and UAE’s healthcare system

For four long years, he grappled with the trials of chronic kidney disease, undergoing dialysis twice a week and battling other disruptions to his daily life.

Today, Indian expat Srinivas Velagapudi, 57, is enjoying a new life, thanks to a kidney transplant that he recently received from a deceased expat who was declared brain dead.

A resident of Dubai for 13 years, Velapgapudi is now full of gratitude to the generous family of the donor for their noble gesture and the country’s healthcare system for making this life-saving procedure possible.

Speaking to Gulf News about his life-changing experience, Velagapudi recalled how the disease had taken a toll on the quality of his life with an exhausting series of medical appointments and dialysis sessions.

“I had diabetes-related kidney issues that progressed to chronic kidney disease (CKD),” said Velagapudi who works as a maintenance manager at a vegetable oil production company in Dubai.

CKD can range from a mild condition with no or few symptoms, to a very serious condition where the kidneys stop working, sometimes called kidney failure.

“Ever since I was diagnosed with the condition, I had to undergo dialysis. I faced fistula and problems accompanying the condition including blocking, heavy bleeding and cramps. Apart from the general weakness and nausea that accompany dialysis, I faced infections due to the catheter,” recounted Velagapudi.

Wait list

Doctors at Burjeel Medical City recommended a kidney transplant and added him to the wait list of the Emirates Organ Transplant Centre and the Ministry of Health and Prevention. Velagapudi’s journey to finding a compatible donor was a challenging one.

Despite his wife Sudha’s willingness to become a donor, she was not a match. This left him with no choice but to continue with dialysis and hope for a suitable donor kidney.

Noble gesture

The turning point came when a 50-year-old expat sustained severe head injuries and was admitted to Burjeel Medical City. He had brain stem dysfunction and was later declared brain dead by neurological criteria.

Burjeel Medical City is a part of the national organ donation committee’s deceased donor allocation pool.

“We approached Emirates Organ Transplant Centre about the potential brain-dead donor and the possibility of utilizing the deceased individual’s kidney for transplantation,” said Dr Venkat Sainaresh Vellanki, director – Transplant Nephrology.

“The Emirates Organ Transplant Centre team approached the family of the potential organ donor. In an act of profound generosity and nobility, the family consented to the organ donation, honoring their loved one’s memory and potentially granting a new lease on life to a patient in need,” he said.

The team got confirmation from the Emirates Organ Transplant Centre team to proceed with organ retrieval followed by a kidney transplant for Velagapudi.

Thanks to the selfless decision of the donor’s family, Velagapudi received a successful kidney transplant which was even covered by his insurance company.

Velagapudi is one of the lucky recipients of insurance coverage for organ transplant surgeries as in most cases, it is not covered. As Gulf News reported first on Tuesday, the UAE is now set to come up with a law that will make insurance coverage mandatory for all organ transplant recipients and living donors.

The surgical team

Velagapudi’s surgical team was led by Dr Rehan Saif, director of Transplant Surgery for Burjeel Abdominal Multi-Organ Transplant Programme, and comprised Dr Isthiaque Ahmed, Transplant Nephrologist, and Dr Ramamurthy Ganesan Baskaran, consultant Anesthesiology and Transplant Anesthesia.

“The patient had a good recovery period in our dedicated transplant ICU with top-notch medical and nursing care. He was under the constant monitoring of our transplant team and has been discharged after recovery,” said Dr Saif.

He said this is one of the early deceased donor transplantations performed at Burjeel Medical City since the hospital established a multi-organ transplant programme in 2022.

Words of gratitude

According to the medical team, Velagapudi does not require dialysis as of now and can lead a more active life.

“I am back to my normal life now. After my rest period, I have started working and driving. I go for walks also,” said Velagapudi.

Grateful

He expressed his deep gratitude for the UAE’s healthcare facilities and the incredible generosity of the donor’s family. “I am truly grateful for the opportunity to receive this kidney transplant, which has given me a second chance at life. I am deeply grateful to the UAE for its world-class healthcare system and the selflessness of the donor’s family. They all are in our prayers and thoughts. Before this, it was like a tunnel without light but now after the transplant there is light and hope,” he said.

“After my experience and surgery, I urge and highly recommend all people who are healthy, whether young or old, to become organ donors as it can save a life and a family that is in distress,” he added.

The doctors said the successful kidney transplant underscores the UAE’s commitment to organ transplantation and saving lives. It showcases the importance of organ donation and the incredible impact it can have on the lives of individuals suffering from life-threatening conditions.

“One deceased donor can save up to eight lives by the process of organ donation. It saves thousands of lives every year. However, the shortage of donor organs is a major limiting factor. Burjeel Medical City has worked actively to promote awareness about this ‘gift of life’. We will continue to advocate organ donation and support the Hayat Organ Donation Programme and educate the community,” added Dr Saif.
