KARACHI: A woman delivered quintuplets — four girls and one boy — on Wednesday at a private hospital in Karachi, DawnNews reported.
The couple had been childless for 16 years.
Tragically, one baby girl passed away whereas the four others have been kept in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit (ICU), along with the mother, hospital sources told Dawn.
Zahid Khan, father of the four babies, spoke to media representatives and expressed joy at the birth of the children, adding that he would like to see them in the medical profession in future.
He also revealed that he was a resident of Quetta who had come to the metropolitan city only two weeks ago.

We had our first child after one an half year.. it seemed a long time. I just cannt imagine how happy both parents be after 16 years... Congrats. They have made up the lost time. I am sad that baby girl didnt survive.

Mashallah and congratulations to the mother and father.
Would've appreciated more if the health of the Quetta mother was reported in detail. It's an unparalleled experience in terms of pain.
I pray that the children stay healthy and the parents, the strength to raise them up to their potential; be it of a medical profession or not.

I wonder if they went through some IVF treatment for conception which was not controlled properly?
