“The smallest baby ever born!”

At just 370 grams, Alim was born far too early at Klagenfurt Hospital. For months, doctors, nurses and relatives worked hard to ensure the delicate little one's well-being and endured a challenging time with many ups and downs. Now the brave little fighter was finally allowed to go home.

"I went to hospital because I had severe stomach pains. But then everything went really quickly and they admitted me straight away," Džehva Hadžić recalls of her 23rd week of pregnancy. The doctors at Klagenfurt Hospital immediately noticed that the baby in her womb was no longer being adequately cared for and were faced with a difficult decision.
