The infant had a difficult neonatal period (first four weeks of a child's life) with a birth weight of only 750 grams.

The baby was delivered by Dr Monowara Begum, senior consultant and coordinator – Obstetrics and Gynecology of the hospital due to his mother's premature labor, very high pressure and vaginal bleeding.
