Medical team aids 5-year-old in Monastir

A medical team at Fatouma Bourguiba Hospital in Monastir successfully performed a liver transplant on a 5-year-old child from Sidi Bouzid. This marks the 24th case among children at the hospital where such procedures have been carried out. The child has been suffering from Krigler-Najjar syndrome since birth, a rare genetic disorder that causes a severe and persistent increase in bilirubin levels, requiring light therapy for up to 16 hours daily throughout his life. Due to its nature and severity, a liver transplant was considered the definitive treatment that could save his life and restore hope for him.
