Pakistan Baby Born with 3 Arms, Another Rare Disease


A girl was born with three arms in India due to a rare disease that only affects one in a million Children.
The newborn, only four days old, has two arms in the right place, but has a third arm attached to the back, near the Spinal Cord.
His Father Waqar Ahmed, took his daughter to the Hospital after birth on Monday.
She was taken to Nishtar Hospital, where doctors are thinking about the possibility of operating the third arm.
Doctor Ghulam Shabbir said, “The girl suffers from a rare disease called Polymelia, which makes a person born with extra limbs, often arms or legs.”
Dr. Shabbir told The Tribune Express that “additional limb amputation would be the first  operation of its kind in the hospital.”
