Doctors Pleaded For Pregnant Women To Shift Australia For Not To Face A Complex Birth
Doctors have pleaded for a heavily pregnant refugee on Nauru island facing a complex and possibly life-threatening birth to be moved to an Australian hospital, reports Al-Rai daily quoting BuzzFeed website.
The woman is a 37-year-old Kuwaiti and more than 35 weeks pregnant. Her baby is in breech and she has a large fibroid or benign tumor on the wall of her uterus. She has previously had a miscarriage on Nauru.
However, the website is unsure whether the woman is a Kuwaiti or a resident in Kuwait. But the Australian government says she must deliver her baby on Nauru, saying there are ‘comprehensive’ medical services available on the island. The woman, whom the Guardian has chosen not to name, has been prescribed the antidepressant drug Citalopram, a pregnancy class C medication that, Australian guidelines state, has “caused or may be suspected of causing, harmful effects on the human fetus”.
According to the drug’s manufacturer, possible effects on the newborn include persistent pulmonary hypertension, respiratory distress, cyanosis, apnea, seizures, temperature instability, feeding difficulty, vomiting and hypoglycemia among others. The Guardian has confirmed the woman remains on Nauru, despite medical transfer flights leaving the island this week.
