A 27 year old woman of Kasapa area in Solwezi district yesterday gave birth to triplets at Solwezi General Hospital.
Solwezi General Hospital Chief Executive Officer Dr Simon Kunda confirmed the development to ZANIS in a telephone interview yesterday.
Dr. Kunda said Astrida Kale yesterday gave birth to three babies among them one girl and two boys who were born around 10:44 hours through an operation.
Dr. Kunda described the triplets as nice and bouncy babies adding that the condition of the mother is well.
“The babies are very nice and bouncy, even the condition of the mother is just okay,” he said.
Dr. Kunda disclosed that the girl’s weight at the time of birth was 2.5 kilograms while the two boys weighed 2.3 and 1.9 kilograms respectively.
And speaking to ZANIS from her hospital bed yesterday, Astrida Kale said apart from the new triplets, she has other three children who are all boys whom she takes care of.
She said her husband Watson Chivuta left her at the time when she was still pregnant to an unknown area leaving her with a challenge of looking after the children and also buy enough clothes for the baby that she was expecting.
Ms. Kale added that she had no idea that she would ever have triplets born from her a situation she says has posed a great challenge on how she would bring up the children.
She has since appealed to government and well wishers to help her bring up the triplets by assisting her with financial and material support especially clothes, blankets and nappies as she was not in any form of employment.
Checks by ZANIS this morning found the babies lying on the bed alongside their mother without nappies, socks and blankets but were covered with bed sheets provided for by hospital authorities.
