Doctor Saves Premature Baby Using ‘Carton’ Incubator

A medical doctor, identified as Chibuike Joseph Chukwudum, has been applauded for saving a premature baby using an improvised incubator.

Disclosing the heroic action on twitter, Dr Nonso via the Twitter handle @aproko_doctor, said Chukwudum who works at a hospital in the south-eastern part of Nigeria was able to keep a fragile baby alive by creating an incubator with a carton as there was no incubator available at the hospital.

The improvised incubator was also seen to have hot water bottles and a source of light to generate heat for the child.
