Durban – A Durban mother of a permanently blind premature baby boy is claiming R23.9m from the KwaZulu-Natal health MEC, alleging that her son's blindness could have been avoided by staff of the RK Khan Hospital's premature birth unit.
Lauren Muller is the mother of Jayden, who was born in 2005.
But lawyers for the department have pointed out that the baby, who weighed 1.6kg at birth after a pregnancy of 30 to 32 weeks, had other conditions to treat in addition to blindness.
Muller alleges that the oxygen saturation level was administered routinely when it was no longer necessary.
She said her son suffered and would endure permanent emotional trauma, would function at a lower cognitive level, and his posture and movement patterns associated with neuro-muscular functions as a result of complications would be affected.
The matter was adjourned to November 28.

BRING BACK THE SKILLED WHITES AND DO AWAY WITH RACIST AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!!!
#BringBackTheWhitePeople: 96 percent of all the so-named 'White" South Africans are barred from the job-market in South Africa under the ANC's more than 115 anti-white racelaws. Afrikaner children, children, pensioners and adults suffer from this deliberate policy of barring their wage-earners from jobs, and many of these families hide themselves away in tiny squatter camps in South Africa. They have no right to work, no rights to earning an income and no rights to get food-aid from charities: we are in desperate need of donations for food, vegetables, clothing, baby clothes, medicine, blankets and tents. The ANC government does not help: in fact the ANC-regime has also made laws which prohibit private and public charities and donor-charities from helping whites If they do, the ANC will cancel their non-profit registration with the government. More than 15-million black poor people get help from the government and from private charities in South Africa. But only very few charities dare to donate to help these Afrikaner squatters because of their fear of this law. Foreign charities and private donors are free to chose where they can send their money and their aid in South Africa This is a very desperate situation please help. We need assistance
