The woman was admitted to the surgical theater under the supervision of Dr. Taktum Al-Erabi who performed the Cesarean delivery with the assistance of anesthesiologist Dr. Abd Al-Ameer Noori. Through accuracy and speed, the surgical team was able to preserve the life of the mother and her first-born.
