It’s #ThrowbackThursday and we are looking at Moaza’s extraordinary story. ✨ Moaza is thought to be the first woman to have a child born from ovarian tissue collected before puberty. Born with a serious blood disorder, Moaza had a bone marrow transplant and chemotherapy, which left her infertile. As a child, doctors froze her ovarian tissue, hoping for the future. 👉 Find out more about how Consultant Gynaecologist, Miss Sara Matthews, Consultant Obstetrician Miss Cathy Roberts and The Portland Hospital played an important part in Moaza and husband Ahmed’s miracle baby here: https://lnkd.in/eD8HwJkt
