About Structural Defects |

It is true that medical technology has improved so much over the recent years. But the risk of having a child with a birth defect continues to be a significant medical problem. About 1 in 33 children are born with structural defects such as malformed limbs, heart problems and facial abnormalities. Patients of all age groups, races, education levels, socioeconomic backgrounds are affected. Birth defects demand a considerable amount of resources in terms of the economy. The problem is however mostly underestimated or rather overlooked by many in the scientific community. An adequate knowledge about the various birth defects and the causes alone can prevent the incidence of birth defects to an extent. |

Posted on: 11/07/2008 My brother in law is handicap. On his birth, his feet were upside down. With the help of German technology His feet were operated and got better. But today he still can't walk nor talk and gets seizures also. I praise him and admire his will power. May Allah bless all such children and provide them evrything in the hereafter...Ameen! |
