A 70-year-old woman is the new record oldest mother to have given birth to two twins in Africa. The woman who had been admitted to the Women’s Hospital International Fertility Center in Uganda was blessed with a twin, a boy, and a girl. The woman, who has since been acknowledged by several people worldwide, is said to have struggled for many years looking for a kid, with all attempts hitting a dead rock.
According to information shared by the doctors from the incident hospital and obtained by TV 47 Kenya, the woman, identified as Safina Namukuye, was impregnated artificially using an in vitro fertilization (IVF) method. The woman has been attending facility clinics where tests in her uterus (womb) indicated an abnormal growth that has always affected her fertility development.
The doctors indicated that with the IVF method, the womb had a lot of room to develop the two that were later successful. The woman was unable to deliver normally since her hormonal structure was low. She was able to deliver through Caesarean procedures.
“We are proud of the new technology that has helped the woman give birth successfully at her odd ages. Although the womb had problems, the new technology has made it happen. The mother and the babies are in good condition, although we are keenly assessing their health,” a doctor from the hospital claimed.
