HAYLEY Meyer, a baby born at 25 weeks, has died after fighting for her life the past two weeks in the Netcare Clinton Hospital in Alberton.
The baby was scheduled to be born on July 14, but when complications arose, doctors were forced to perform an emergency caesarean section, and she made her way into this world around 19:00 on April 4.
