Rose became pregnant and attended antenatal clinics without knowing she was carrying multiples. When she went into preterm labor, a local clinic referred her to Dreamland Mission Hospital (DMH), where she discovered she was expecting triplets.

The news was overwhelming. “I didn’t know how to react—it was good but scary news,” Rose recalled. “How will I manage taking care of three babies at once?” Her fears were compounded by financial struggles, but DMH stepped in to provide life-saving care for both her and her newborns. Within an hour of arriving, she underwent an emergency C-section, delivering three fragile infants. The triplets, weighing between 1505g and 2120g, were immediately transferred to the newborn unit due to their premature birth and low birth weight.

The medical team worked tirelessly to stabilise the babies. They received oxygen therapy, phototherapy for jaundice, and IV medications while being closely monitored for vital signs, respiration, and body temperature. The hospital staff also ensured that Rose was supported in learning how to care for her newborns, especially in establishing an adequate milk supply for their nutrition.

After nearly eight weeks in the unit, the babies were finally stable enough to be discharged. Rose and her babies were discharged and given all food and essential supplies to sustain her newborns.

When Carolyne reached 38 weeks pregnant, she went into active labor, and after three hours, she safely delivered a baby weighing 2.1 kg (4 lb). However, her baby initially struggled to adapt, and the nurses informed her that due to the low birth weight, there was a risk of neonatal sepsis, requiring close monitoring in the Newborn Unit.

In the unit, her baby received specialised care, including continuous monitoring of vital signs. Over time, the baby’s weight steadily increased to 2.6 kg (5.7 lb), and after reaching a stable condition, they were finally discharged.

“I feel forever indebted to the Newborn Unit,” Carolyne expressed with gratitude. “The nurses are simply fantastic in how they care for these babies. Thank you, Dreamland Hospital!”

Sharon delivered her baby, weighing 4.8 kg (10 lb 5 oz), via C-section at another hospital. Within hours, she noticed that her newborn was not breastfeeding and appeared unresponsive. She immediately sought help from the hospital’s medical team, who advised that the baby required further observation in a newborn unit. Unfortunately, the hospital’s unit was full.

Desperate for immediate care, Sharon and her husband decided to take their baby to Dreamland Mission Hospital after a friend recommended its well-equipped newborn unit and highly professional staff. Upon arrival, the baby was promptly admitted, and screening revealed severe hypoglycemia—a condition that could have been fatal if left untreated. The medical team immediately administered a dextrose drip to stabilise the baby’s blood sugar levels.

By the next morning, the baby’s blood sugar had returned to normal, and all vital signs were stable. The nurses guided Sharon on how to breastfeed her baby on demand, ensuring proper nutrition and bonding. Just three days after admission, her baby was thriving and was discharged home in good health.

Sharon expressed deep gratitude for the life-saving care her baby received. “For the short time my baby spent in the unit, I have experienced love, professionalism, and quality care. I am so thankful to have such a facility in my neighborhood—Dreamland truly saved my baby’s life.”
