Amina was born 40 minutes before the terroristes started the massacre at the maternity operated by @msf in Kabul yesterday morning. Like at least 20 others, her mother and her grand mother were assassinated.
Also targeted, Amina received a bullet (Kalashnikov) in her leg, injuring her femoral artery (<20 mm).
After he told me there was "little medical literature about war wounds on newborns", Dr Najeeb Bina, surgeon-in-chief at the French Medical Institute for the Children and Mothers (@FMICKabul), operated her during 4 hours this afternoon.
Thank you and congratulations, Najeeb : Amina will keep her leg. @FMICKabul @chainedelespoir @MSF
@BinaNajeeb Please meet the hyper talented surgeon who saved Amina’s leg today.
