Madam Yeboah said 15 babies made up of eight females and

seven males were delivered on the eve of Christmas day without any

complications. Three of the mothers delivered through caesarean section and all

the babies are alive, she added. At the Seventh day Adventist hospital in Sunyani five births

comprising three males and two females were delivered during the

yuletide without complications. Six babies, all males, were delivered at Saint Theresa's Hospital

at Nkoranza on December 24. All the children and their mothers are in good health. Ms Cynthia Boakye and Ms Ernestina Twum, nurses at the

Maternity Ward of the hospital told GNA that five of the babies

were born on Friday December 24 and the other on Saturday,

December 25. One of the mothers went through caesarean operation during

labour and is in normal condition. Sixteen births were recorded on Christmas Day at Dormaa

Presbyterian Hospital in Dormaa Ahenkro as against 23 recorded on

Christmas Day last year. Madam Mary Bio, Midwife in-charge told the GNA that there

was one still-birth as a result of the delay of the expectant mother at

home. She observed that many women believed in giving birth at home

and appealed to them to attend ante-natal service in health facilities

close to them.
