The story of baby Dong - a pneumonia-stricken infant abandoned at a hospital in Guizhou because his parents could not afford medical care - is one that Children's Medical Foundation (CMF) director Melissa Moi cannot forget.
Dong, wrapped in a blanket, had been found inside a hospital in Zunyi by a security guard, who immediately alerted doctors. Medical staff recognised the boy as the son of Chen Yan and her husband, Dong Mingqiang.
The baby was born premature at 32 weeks, weighing only 1,400 grams, and was battling respiratory illness.
Dong said he made the difficult decision to abandon their son because their money was barely enough to pay for life-saving treatment for his wife, who suffered severe complications during delivery.
'He knew if he did not pay for the treatment of his wife, she would die. But if their son was found abandoned, someone would pay for his treatment and save his life,' Moi said.
'Both his wife and son would survive, even if it meant that they would not be able to be together as a family.'
