The nursing staff played an indispensable role in ensuring the stability of the babies before and after surgery.'

Adding to the commendations, Dr Amer al Majrifi, Consultant in Premature Paediatric, emphasised the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation:

This teamwork significantly enhances the success rate of complex surgical interventions.'
