University of the Philippines Barrio Doctor Revives Stillborn Baby

From inquirer.net

during these times when we’re caught in a “culture of hatred,” it makes us realize that good things can still happen. An example is when Dr. Anthony Cu miraculously revived a stillborn baby in Dapa, Surigao del Norte. Dr. Cu, a doctor-scholar of First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo from the University of the Philippines, conducted mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and CPR on the baby who had no heartbeat and was no longer breathing.

The miracle took place on March 24, when a 38-year-old impoverished woman from one of Dapa’s island barangays checked in at the Dapa Regional Health Unit (RHU) after suffering labor pains for 10 hours. Dr. Cu told Juris Umali-Soliman, president of the First Gentleman Foundation Inc., that he had no choice but to attend to her despite their lack of adequate equipment for neonatal resuscitation. With a midwife and two of his medical staff to assist him, Dr. Cu attended to the woman.
