Overview
- The three girls were delivered on December 25 at Hospital María Humphreys in Trelew at 08:49 (1.460 kg), 09:50 (1.760 kg) and 09:52 (1.690 kg).
- Both the mother and the newborns are reported stable, with the babies in the hospital’s Neonatology unit for continuous monitoring and nutritional recovery due to prematurity.
- Provincial authorities describe the occurrence as extraordinarily uncommon, estimating it at roughly once in 100 million pregnancies.
- The gestation was monochorionic triamniotic, confirming the babies are genetically identical and underscoring the elevated perinatal risks that required strict surveillance.
- Officials credit obstetrics, neonatology and nursing teams with following high‑complexity protocols, and they note only a few similar cases in Argentina, including Comodoro Rivadavia in 2019, Adrogué in 2020 and a recent case in Salta.
