MTRH CEO Dr. Wilson Arwasa said five ambulances were used to separately transport the babies, adding that their temperatures were still – however – very low on arrival but were later stabilised.
Medical practitioners who attended to her noted that the smallest of the babies weighed 840 grams at birth, falling way below the average of 3.5kgs.
