The first baby of a Ukrainian mother who fled the war was born in the Hospital de Dénia. He is the first child of Maria, 44 years old. The little one, who weighed 2 kilos and 930 grams, came into the world by natural birth, at 16:25 p.m. yesterday afternoon. Both mother and son are in perfect condition on the Maternity floor of the Dénia Hospital, a public center managed by the Ribera health group.
Mariia arrived on March 7 from Strutyn, near the border with Poland, to the Alicante town of Jávea, where her sister Natalia has lived for more than 20 years.
She left the Ukraine by train to the Polish border, where her brother-in-law and nephew were waiting for her, who traveled from Jávea by car to pick her up.
He was admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service last Thursday afternoon. As she has transferred to the team of midwives who have attended her during childbirth, she made the decision to leave Ukraine when she verified that Russian aircraft were bombing hospitals.
The Obstetrics team has accompanied her at all times, since her husband, with whom she is constantly connected via video call, has had to stay in Ukraine. In addition, Mariia has also had a translation service during childbirth, since Alla Smolyn, of Ukrainian origin, has been working for more than 5 years in the Admissions Department of the hospital.
Jávea Red Cross has called for solidarity to help Mariia with the necessary items for raising the baby and also with non-perishable food for the Ukrainian population that is arriving in the area.
