Itanagar, Apr 24: In a rare and noteworthy medical achievement, a 30-year-old woman from Kurung Kumey district successfully delivered healthy full-term triplets through a caesarean section at Polo Hospital, Ganga here on Friday.
Doctors informed that triplet pregnancies are uncommon and typically associated with assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF pregnancy. However, in this case, the pregnancy was a spontaneous natural occurrence, making it particularly significant.
The high-risk surgery was led by gynaecologist Dr Posting Bayang Neri and medicine specialist Dr Meli Dodum. Despite the complexities involved, the procedure was completed successfully without any intra-operative or post-operative complications.
Both the mother and the newborns are reported to be in stable condition and doing well, reflecting an excellent maternal and neonatal outcome under the care of the medical team. Each of the three babies weighed approximately 2.3 kg at birth and did not require admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Hospital authorities described the case as a significant milestone, highlighting the capability of local healthcare facilities in handling high-risk pregnancies with successful outcomes.
