Halima Cisse was flown from the north of the West African state to Morocco by the Mali government for her better medical supervision and safe delivery last month March 30.
She was initially believed to be pregnant with septuplets according to multiple ultrasounds which were performed by the healthcare specialists in both Morocco and Mali.
The woman has now given birth to five girls and four boys, the government authorities told local news outlets.
Moroccan health ministry spokesman, Rachid Koudhari, told Africa’s Khaleej Times that it would be the first time that the country has witnessed such a rare scenario, and the detection of nonuplets in the woman’s womb shocked the West African nation.
Medics, last month, had suggested that Cisse needed special care and that’s when the government officials had decided to take the mother to be out of the country for a better medical check-up. Mali’s health minister, Fanta Siby, said in a statement that all the children and the mother were in a good health, and safe. All nine kids were delivered by C-section.
