QUETTA, Dec 3: An Afghan woman gave birth to three girls and a boy in a private hospital on Wednesday.

Mohammad Omar, a resident of Nawan Killi, brought his wife to the hospital in the morning and she gave birth to quadruplets in the afternoon.

“It was a normal delivery with no complications,” Dr Asma Saddique said, adding that the mother and babies were in good heath. “I am glad and thankful to God who has given four more children to me,” Mohammad Omar, the father, said. He already had a son.

It was the second time in Quetta that a woman has given birth to quadruplets.

An Afghan woman had given birth to quintuplets in Bolan Medical College Hospital in Quetta last year.
