In Ternopil, a newborn girl weighing 430 grams was delivered.

Doctors at the Ternopil Regional Clinical Perinatal Center "Mother and Child" successfully cared for a newborn girl weighing 430 grams. This is the smallest baby born at this medical facility in 2024. Currently, the newborn girl continues her treatment at the neonatal center of the Lviv Regional Children's Hospital.

The smallest resident of Ternopil Oblast was born at the perinatal center in September. In a comment to ZAXID.NET, the head of the neonatal intensive care unit, Dr. Nelya Skubenko, stated that the baby was immediately placed in intensive care.

“The baby was born at 27 weeks. She had a very low weight – 430 grams. I want to say that this is the smallest child born here in 2024 that we cared for. Within a month, we managed to help her gain an additional 300 grams. At the beginning of October, she was transferred to the neonatal center in Lviv, where she continues her treatment,” – reported Nelya Skubenko.

Specialists at the neonatal center of the Lviv Regional Children's Hospital have already performed the first surgery on the newborn, and currently, the girl is feeling well, although she remains in the intensive care unit. She is also continuing to gain weight.

According to the general director of the perinatal center, Viktor Ovcharuk, in 2024, specialists at the facility provided assistance to over 260 newborns who were born prematurely and need to be monitored by doctors in the outpatient clinic until they are three years old.

Overall, in 2024, 2076 infants were born at the Ternopil Regional Clinical Perinatal Center "Mother and Child". This is 302 more than in 2023, as emphasized by the medical facility. Among the newborns, there are 49 sets of twins. There are 1083 girls and 993 boys.
