The newborn baby boy, weighing just about 1.5 kg, brought to the hospital in an extremely critical condition by the Sector-29 police earlier last month, with the umbilical cord and placenta still attached.
On arrival at the hospital, the baby was cold to touch, unresponsive. And had no detectable cardiac activity or breathing, indicating cardio-respiratory arrest. The emergency team at Max Hospital, Gurugram, immediately initiated life-saving resuscitation measures.
A team of doctors led by Dr. Camelia Nongrum, Head Emergency, Max Hospital, Gurugram and Dr. Sachin Jain, Senior Consultant – Neonatology. Assessed the baby’s condition and initiated advanced neonatal resuscitation as per established protocols.
Elaborating on the baby’s case, Dr. Camelia Nongrum said. “When the baby arrived, there were no signs of life, and the condition was extremely critical. Our emergency and neonatology teams immediately initiated advanced neonatal resuscitation and worked relentlessly for nearly 30 minutes to revive the newborn. Seeing the baby respond after such prolonged resuscitation was a powerful reminder of how timely intervention and teamwork can save even the most fragile lives.”
As per protocol, the hospital informed the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) and the Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Gurugram, and continued to provide regular updates on the baby’s condition.

The infant gradually started on feeds and continued to gain weight under the close supervision of the NICU team.
Adding, Dr. Sachin Jain said, “Over the weeks, he became ‘Baby Max’ for all of us in the NICU. The nurses would greet him first when they began their shifts. And doctors would check on him even beyond their routine rounds. Everyone who walked into the unit knew his story. His tiny movements, his steady weight gain, and his quiet determination lifted the spirits of the entire team. In many ways, he became the light of our ward, a little fighter and a small celebrity whom everyone cherished.”
