CHANDIGARH: A Sangrur couple became the parents of India’s first-ever all-girl quintuplets to survive on Tuesday morning. The baby girls were delivered at a private hospital in Bhucho town near Bhatinda, Punjab.
Kuldeep Kaur, 32, who is a wife of a farmer from Giddaraani village under Sangrur district, was admitted to the hospital on April 30.
“Nobody was ready to take this case as it was highly complicated. Kuldeep’s life was in danger as she was carrying five babies with just 5 gm blood. The ultrasound had revealed only four babies but she actually delivered five,” said Dr Harkiran Kaur, head of gynaecology department, Adesh Hospital, who supervised the deliveries.
