On January 11 2023 the first ever sextuplet birth was reported in Tajikistan. A 26-year-old mother from the northern city of Khujand gave birth to two boys and four girls at the Khujand maternity hospital.
The weight of each baby was 600-700 grams and after birth, their health condition was considered normal.
Unfortunately, the sextuplets died a day after birth.
“The leading causes of death were preterm birth and low birth weight,” head physician of the Khujand maternity hospital, Ms. Nouri Dadoboyeva, told Asia-Plus in an interview.
The health of the 26-year-old mother Muborak Sohibova is stable
“This was her fourth birth. She is currently in the hospital and will be under medical supervision for some time,” Ms. Dadoboyeva noted.
