Doctors in Pakistan are fighting to save the life of a baby boy born with six legs because of a rare genetic condition, hospital officials said on Monday.
"It is not one baby actually. They are two, one of them is premature," he said.
A doctor at the institute who did not wish to be named said the extra limbs were the result of a genetic disease which would affect only one in a million or more babies.
"The doctors are examining the infant to plan for necessary treatment to save the baby's life and ensure he lives a normal life," said a statement from the provincial health department.
"We are a poor family. I am thankful to the government for helping us treating my baby," he told the media.
