Incubator baby survives harrowing ordeal

Dubai: Little Nylah Armilla, born prematurely in the seventh month on August 12, is a resilient baby who has managed to survive her ordeal against all odds.

For more than a month, her home had been an incubator at Al Baraha Hospital, Dubai, where her mother, Melanie, 37, kept a vigil day and night.

She was discharged and is doing well at home.

However, the Armillas have yet to pay the total bill which is Dh74,000.

“We paid Dh5,000 and gave an undertaking to pay the rest so the hospital allowed us to leave,” she said.

The family was required to pay Dh10,000 in late September and promised to pay half the total amount within two months.
