Abu Dhabi: Her precious babies may be perfectly healthy right now, but Al Shaima Hamza Kamal Aideen is nevertheless worried about providing them with proper care during their infant years.
The 26-year-old Sudanese mother and her businessman husband Mubarak Al Bushr Abdullah, 36, were blessed with a set of quadruplets on December 19, an event in the capital that was hailed a miracle because the odds of conceiving four babies without fertility assistance are estimated at one in nearly half a million.
“Now that I have held and fed and taken care of my four bundles of joy, I am even more concerned about ensuring their well-being. Multiple pregnancies are not at all uncommon in my hometown of Khartoum in Sudan, but the tragedy is that most babies do not make it past the age of five due to dated health care facilities and lack of equipment there,” Al Shaima told Gulf News.
