A Mother Delivered Healthy Quadruplets Babies At AIIMS Rishikesh
A 24-year-old pregnant mother delivered “quadruplets” babies at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Rishikesh on late Saturday evening. Doctors say that the babies were born out of cesarean delivery. All four babies are healthy and stable. They do not require any ventilation support.
Doctors at AIIMS Rishikesh said that it is a rare case as quadruplets are born once in every seven lakh births.
Dr Anupama Bahadur, Additional Professor at the department of obstetrics and gynecology led the surgery done along with the team of doctors from neonatal department.
