The WHO also estimates that for every woman who dies in childbirth, about 20 more suffer severe complications, leading to long-term health issues or disabilities. Baiba Deiko, a 33-year-old woman from Latvia residing in Cyprus, experienced a severe childbirth complication leading to an emergency cesarean section at 31 weeks due to a ruptured placenta, a 1cm perforation in the posterior wall of her stomach, and subsequent life-threatening conditions including sepsis and a complete blockage of the pylorus. Her son, Noah, was taken to Makarios hospital’s ICU, the only one in the country that can house babies under 32 weeks. Baiba’s condition required her to be transported via an ambulance plane to Rafael hospital in Israel for specialized treatment, facilitated by ILMedicare, a private medical service in Limassol, Cyprus. After her final surgery, Baiba returned to Cyprus two weeks later and was reunited with her son after a month of separation.
