Hopes for the four-year old girl in a critical condition in Starship Hospital
20 March 2019
Vascular surgeon Dr Eddie Khanafer recalls his sadness at seeing the child at Christchurch Hospital with such injuries.
He says after the initial surgery she became unstable - as she was due to be transferred to Auckland - and she had a second operation.
Khanafer says he has been in regular contact with doctors at Starship, and while she is still critical, he is optimistic.
There are still 29 patients in Christchurch Hospital, eight of whom are critical.
