Overview
- A private hospital in Quetta confirmed a woman gave birth to five babies—three girls and two boys—in a single delivery.
- Hospital officials say the mother and all five infants were moved to a special care unit where they are receiving round‑the‑clock neonatal monitoring.
- Medical staff described the case as medically challenging and said coordinated specialist care is required to reduce health risks for the mother and newborns.
- The births increase the family’s children from three to eight and have drawn local attention and support from relatives and neighbours.
- Health officials noted that quintuplet deliveries are rare in Pakistan and typically need extended neonatal support, citing a similar Karachi quintuplet case reported last year.
