Child birth issues

Yune Kuff, mother of two, had difficulty delivering her baby. Her husband, Dau Philip, brought her to the Ramu NiCo Community Affairs office where she received help and safely delivered a baby girl.  

Mr Philip said, “Her (Yune) condition (was) normal and then got worse at night.” He said the only option was to rush to RNML Community Affairs Office for help.

Ramu NiCo’s Community Affairs Superintendent Andy Hu said the refinery has assisted in emergency cases like this on several occasions, but it is very risky.

"They saw something on the scan, and the doctor came in and told us that there was something seriously wrong with our baby and that she had a sacrococcygeal teratoma," the Plano, Texas, mom said in an interview shared by Texas Children's Hospital. "And it was very shocking and scary, because we didn't know what that long word meant or what diagnosis that would bring."

Sacrococcygeal teratoma is a tumor that develops before birth and grows from a baby's coccyx, the tailbone.
