Quadruplets were born premature to a couple from Kasaragod. Only three children survived, following three weeks in neonatal intensive care unit of a city hospital here.
According to Ali Kumble, a consultant paediatrician and Chairman of new Indiana Hospitals, Aysha Tahira delivered quadruplets on March 11 when she had gone for check-up by gynaecologist Veena Manjunath in Kasaragod. While the average period of gestation for quadruplet pregnancy is 31.2 weeks, the gestation period here was 26 weeks. “The chances of survival in such cases are rare. But we took up the challenge to save the children,” Dr. Kumble said.
