Helmand mother gives birth to quintuplets

A woman in Afghanistan’s Helmand province has given birth to quintuplets — three boys and two girls — in a rare and remarkable event.

Health officials report that the mother and most of the newborns are in stable condition, although one of the infants remains in critical care.

According to Rahel, four of the newborns are in good health, while one is currently receiving intensive medical care.

He added that medical teams are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the well-being of both the mother and her children.

The successful delivery marks a significant achievement for the region’s healthcare services, and hospital staff continue to provide necessary support during the critical postnatal period.
