49-Year-Old Woman Gives Birth to Quadruplets After 15 Years Wait

Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) celebrates a remarkable achievement as a 49-year-old woman successfully gives birth to quadruplets through Invitro Fertilisation (IVF) conception.

Prof. Chinedu Ekwempu, a distinguished Professor specializing in Infertility and Endocrinology, who also serves as JUTH’s IVF Centre Coordinator, disclosed this news to journalists in Jos on Thursday.

The woman, who welcomed her first child 15 years ago, had been endeavoring to conceive again ever since.

Prof. Ekwempu further explained that she achieved pregnancy following her first IVF procedure at JUTH in 2023. The woman underwent a Caesarean Section (CS) at 33 weeks gestation on April 14, successfully delivering the quadruplets.

“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,” he stated.
