Abbottabad
Six of the seven babies born to a woman in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) Abbottabad have died, a health official said on Tuesday, ten days after their birth at a private hospital.
A spokesperson for the Ayub Medical Complex relayed that the infants were underweight, due to which they could not survive. On Oct 16, the woman had given birth to septuplets, including four boys and three girls.
Health Minister Taimur Khan Jhagra shared photos of the newborns on his official Twitter handle. 34-year-old Rukhsana and her husband Yar Mohammad already had 2 daughters before the birth of septuplets.—INP
