Currently at Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), a 49-year-old mother has welcomed quadruplets after waiting for fifteen years.

The mother had been eager to add to her family since her first child was born fifteen years ago.

She was conceived on her first try after undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) in 2023 at JUTH’s IVF Centre.

The mother gave birth to her quadruplets via Caesarean section on April 14th, at 33 weeks gestation. There are reports of steady and good health for the mother and the four babies.

This delivery marks a significant milestone for JUTH’s IVF Center.

Professor Chinedu Ekwempu, a renowned infertility and endocrinology specialist and the center’s coordinator, expressed his pride in this achievement for both the center and the hospital.

He said;

“This is the first time JUTH’s IVF centre is having a set of quadruplets, this is a great feat for the centre and the hospital. The mother and the babies are stable and are all in good condition,”

“The cost of the procedure here is highly subsidised, it is about half the price of the cost in private fertility hospitals. The centre is supported by the University of Jos, with assistance from TETFUND.”
