AIIMS Delhi has successfully performed India's first foetal blood transfusion to save a child with a rare blood disorder.
The patient, a woman from Haryana, had suffered 7 failed pregnancies due to incompatibility between her red blood cells and those of her foetus.
The foetus was suffering from anaemia and required urgent blood transfusions.
The required blood type, O D phenotype red cell units, was not available in India and was imported from Japan.
The foetus received 6 intrauterine blood transfusions, which successfully reversed the condition of hydrops (heart failure).
The pregnancy continued for eight months, and the baby was delivered by a caesarean section.
This is the first case of a successful pregnancy outcome in a case of alloimmunization due to Rh 17 Ag in India and the 8th case in the world.

Jatayu: World’s 1st Asian King Vulture Conservation & Breeding Centre


Uttar Pradesh is set to establish the world’s 1st conservation and breeding centre for Asian king vultures or red-headed vultures in Maharajganj.
The facility will improve the population of critically endangered species listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s red list since 2007.
The centre is named Jatayu Conservation and Breeding Centre.
Asian king vultures are endangered due to the loss of their habitats and the excessive use of diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, in domestic animals, which becomes poisonous for vultures.
The centre aims to ensure the good health of growing Vultures and provide them with a pair.
Once a female lays an egg, the pair will be left free in their natural environment.
