which there is an abnormality somewhere in the body from birth. It can occur anywhere in the body, such as the brain, bones, or muscles, but congenital heart defects are said to be the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congenital heart defects are the leading cause of death in infancy. It has been reported that 295,000 babies die each year within the first 28 days of life worldwide due to congenital defects. However, congenital defects do not necessarily lead to life-threatening conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the severity and condition of the disability, some disabilities can be managed with medication or treated with surgery. In general, the presence or absence of congenital disabilities is often evident at birth or within the first year of life through daily movements and infant health checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_are_we_born_with_disabilities\"><\/span><strong>Why are we born with disabilities?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why are some babies born with disabilities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the causes of many congenital disabilities are unknown.
