Seeing 11-month-old toddler Bui Thi Anh, nobody would think she was born weighing 1.8kg when her mother was only seven months pregnant.

"At birth, doctors said she had trouble breathing and needed emergency aid," said Truong Thi Bich, Anh's mother from Nhu Thanh District, central Thanh Hoa Province.
Anh subsequently received 10 days of care in the Nhu Thanh Hospital's neonatal unit.
"I was very worried, but with care from doctors and nurses, my daughter and I were discharged in a stable condition," Bich said.
Nurse Le Thi Nuong, who has taken care of many infants, said Anh was surprisingly not the lightest baby to be born at the facility.
