A 70-year-old woman from Uganda just gave birth to twins using IVF treatment. She is now the oldest woman in Africa to have children.
Safina Namukwaya gave birth to a boy and a girl at the Women’s Hospital International and Fertility Centre in Kampala, Uganda.
“This story is not only about successful medical treatment, but also about the inner strength and determination of people,” the hospital posted on Facebook.
After Ms Namukwaya had a successful caesarean delivery on Wednesday.
Ms Namukwaya told the NTV channel that she had her second baby in three years, after having a girl in 2020.
She said she had a lot of problems during her pregnancy, like the father leaving her.
Men don’t want to hear that you are pregnant with more than one baby. “Since I got here, my husband has never come to visit me,” she said.
Ms Namukwaya said she didn’t know how she would take care of the children, but she was happy to have them after being made fun of for not having children for many years.
“Once, a little boy teased me and said that my mother cursed me to never have a child and die,” she said.
