Woman gives birth to four babies at Adansi-Asokwa

Adansi-Asokwa (Ash), July 1, GNA- A 32-year-old woman at Atetem, a village in the Adansi East District, last Thursday gave birth to quadruplets at the Adansi-Asokwa Health Centre.

Madam Ama Konadu and the four babies, two boys and two girls, were said to be doing well after delivery.

Briefing the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Adansi-Asokwa, the Medical Assistant, Miss Faustina Afari-Mintah said the woman was a regular client at the centre's antenatal clinic.

During the visits, the woman's belly was unusually bulky and that suspecting the woman might give birth to more than one baby advised her to go for scanning.

Ms Afari-Mintah said the scanning test's report revealed that Konadu would give birth to twins but after giving birth to twins on the day of delivery the woman's stomach was still protruding and "we detected that there were still more babies left".

She said the woman and the babies have been referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital "where they are sure of receiving intensive care from more qualified personnel".

The woman already has six children.
