Another Covid-19 patient gives birth.

Another Cameroonian lady diagnosed with Coronavirus has given birth to a baby who tested negative for the virus, the Minister of Public Health Dr Malachie Manaouda, has revealed.

According to the Public Health Minister, the lady gave birth last Monday morning at the Yaounde Central Hospital through caesarean section.

He said the caesarean section was performed by Dr. Ngo Dingom and Dr Sone, with anaesthesia conducted by Prof Owona under high and proper security conditions. Dr Malachie Manaouda once more congratulated the health personnel who took part in this delivery for their expertise.

“Another beautiful image of the expertise of our medical profession this morning is the birth of a baby of mother COVID-19 positive at the central hospital, by cesarean section performed by the valorous Dr NGO DINGOM M. and Dr Sone, under anesthesia from Pf. Owono, under high security conditions,” Dr Malachie Manaouda said.

This is the second baby Cameroon reportedly born to a COVID-19 positive mother.

The country welcomed its first healthy baby born to a COVID-19 mother on April 5, 2020.

According to health experts, these two births show that the possibility of a vertical transmission of Coronavirus infection from a mother to her baby is still very low.

When the first baby was born, Professor Anne Esther Njom Nlend, neonatologist and Associate Professor of Paediatrics, recently revealed separation  from the mother is not necessary and breastfeeding is very possible, provided the mother puts on a face mask.

She added that the baby be placed in an incubator in a dedicated area for a fourteen days quarantine period or less, and if possible confined at home, according to its condition.
