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.
