The OA Kid's Story: A Story Book Explaining Oesophageal Atresia
OA-TOF is a rare disease affecting 1 in 2,500 children around the world. At birth, this condition causes a lack of continuity in the food pipe and as a result, these children cannot eat. They also often have an abnormal connection between their food pipe and breathing tube, and therefore often struggle to breathe properly. Over 90% of these children survive due to modern medical interventions, but almost all of them suffer significant respiratory and gastrointestinal complications.
