A woman from Mali has safely given birth to five girls and four boys in Morocco, the African country’s government has announced. The nonuplets and their mother may have set a new world record.
Halima Cisse, 25, was believed to be carrying seven babies, or septuplets, when her pregnancy came to the attention of Malian officials back in March. But ultrasounds appear to have missed two babies.
The woman from the north of the West African state was flown to a clinic in Morocco for better care, on the instructions of the Malian interim president, Bah Ndaw. The “happy outcome” of the rare multiple pregnancy was delivered by the Malian Health Ministry. According to its statement, the nonuplets were born by caesarean section on May 4.
