MEDAN- The Medan City Government, North Sumatra, continues to monitor the development of a baby with biliary astresia who is now being treated by the medical team at the H Adam Malik Hospital in Medan. The condition of this baby is indeed the concern of the Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution.

The Acting Head of the Medan City Health Office, Dr. Mardohar Tambunan, explained that the baby girl named Aiyla Adisty Hidayah was suffering from biliary atresia or bile duct disorders and has now been treated intensively.

The team of doctors, he continued, is currently still improving the general condition of the baby, because when he was brought to RSUP H Adam Malik, he was in poor condition, especially his nutrition and nutrition.

"Biliary asstresia suffered by this baby is a congenital disease, there are organs that are not in the body. We focus on making the existing organs function properly, so that the general condition will also improve," said Mardohar, quoted by Antara, Thursday, October 14.

If an operation is performed, according to him, it must be in accordance with the results of the specialist doctor's consideration and get the approval of the baby's parents.

Mardohar said, biliary atresia is a rare disease, the youngest child of the couple Rahmat Hidayat (31) and Olivia Saridah (27) has entered seven months.

"If the baby is two or three months old, it will be easier to handle. However, this is seven months, so a liver transplant operation must be performed," he said.

If a liver transplant is performed, he said, the priority is the liver donor. "But it must get permission from the parents of the baby," said Mardohar.

Previously, the Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution, planned to bring a 7-month-old baby named Aiyla Adisty Hidayah who suffers from Biliary Atresia to Jakarta.

Based on the information Bobby Nasution received from the doctor, the illness that the poor baby was suffering from started with bile. However, because of his family's treatment for a long time bringing him to the hospital, the disease has progressed to liver function.

"Therefore, yesterday his liver function was the only way yesterday was a transplant. This is indeed in Medan, in North Sumatra, at Adam Malik (RS) they have not been able to carry out that," said Bobby Nasution, Friday, October 8.

Therefore, Bobby Nasution discussed with his family regarding the handling.

"What is the solution, we leave it back to the family," he said.

In addition, President Jokowi's son-in-law has also anticipated the possible treatments that will be given to the poor baby.

"We have been informed about the condition of our children, what about transplants, the treatments we can do up to this day," continued Bobby Nasution.
