A pediatrician expert declared that Angelina Jolie saved her adopted baby daughter's life, by bringing her to the hospital, right after she arrived in the U.S.
The baby was hospitalized two weeks ago at the New York's Presbyterian Hospital, for salmonella intestinal infection as well as dehydration and malnutrition, conditions which would have led to her death in her African homeland.
Dr Jane Aronson, an expert in healthcare for infants adopted overseas, is convinced Jolie saved her daughter's life and affirms that it is certain the baby would have died in the Ethiopian orphanage.
She says: "Children with those conditions living in orphanages in developing nations can die quickly without the proper medical interventions.
That would have been Zahara's fate had she not been adopted by Angelina and brought to the US for medical care.
In spite of her illness, she was very sweet, engaging and responsive. When she regained her strength she began to smile and coo. She was very connected to her mother during her hospitalization.
It was clear that the love and devotion of her mother along with the antibiotics, intravenous fluids and formula helped her to recover." Aronson added.
