Quintuplets born to Afghan woman



By Saleem Shahid


QUETTA, June 24: An Afghan woman gave birth to five children, four boys and one girl, in the Bolan Medical College Hospital early on Sunday morning.

“It was a normal delivery,” gynaecologist Dr Mahrukh said. The woman, Ruqaiya, was brought to the hospital by her husband Maulvi Ahmed Jan from the suburban Pashtoonabad area.

It was the first delivery of quintuplets in Quetta, hospital sources said. “The mother and the babies are in good health,” Dr Mahrukh said.

Maulvi Ahmed is an Afghan refugee living in Quetta for a long time. He owns a grocery shop in Pashtoonabad. Before the God’s gift of the quintuplets, he had three children, one of whom had died some time ago.
