Girl born without part of her oesophagus
Xie Yujia, or Baby Yujia, was born without part of her oesophagus. As a result, the four-year-old cannot eat through her mouth.
Her parents initially used crowdfunding to raise money for reconstructive surgery at the Boston Children's Hospital in the United States, which specialises in treating such defects.
Amount raised: $1.2 million, through crowdfunding sites such as Indiegogo and Give.asia
Campaign started: 2015
Latest update: According to Facebook posts, Yujia is undergoing treatment at KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH).
The local team will work with doctors from Boston Children's Hospital to carry out a full examination of Yujia's oesophagus before planning for more surgery.
Yujia's parents have declined to comment.
