Córdoba: a 5-month-old baby girl received a liver transplant from her mother

Victoria, a baby girl just five months old from Río Tercero, Córdoba, successfully underwent a living donor liver transplant at the Hospital Privado Universitario de Córdoba after being diagnosed with type 3 biliary atresia, a serious congenital disease that blocks the ducts responsible for transporting bile. This condition can cause irreversible liver damage if not treated in time.

The procedure, performed last Tuesday, June 17, was made possible thanks to the donation of part of her mother Guadalupe Accotto's liver, who carried out an act of deep love and selflessness. The procedure was considered high risk and was carried out using a technique increasingly used in pediatric medicine due to its high effectiveness.

Currently, Victoria remains hospitalized under intensive monitoring and, according to the doctors, her clinical progress is favorable.

OSPRERA's support and the impact on social media

The girl's father, Gonzalo, expressed his gratitude to the OSPRERA health insurance, the health insurance plan intervened and normalized by Javier Milei's government that covered 100% of the procedure's costs.

In this regard, the baby's father highlighted the humane treatment they received. "Not only did they cover all the expenses, but they also provided us with warm and humane care that made a difference," he said.

Vicky's story went viral on social media, where hundreds of people left messages of support and admiration for the family, especially for the mother's gesture, seen as an example of unconditional love.

Now, the family remains focused on Victoria's recovery, hoping that she will soon be able to return home. They also express their gratitude for the outpouring of affection and emphasize the importance of raising awareness about organ donation, especially in complex pediatric cases.
