Officials at the Kunduz Regional Hospital have confirmed that a mother from the Khost wa Fereng district of Baghlan province gave birth to quadruplets last night. The newborns include three girls and one boy.
Walid Rahimi, the spokesman for the Taliban's public health directorate in Kunduz, told TOLOnews that the health condition of the mother and all four babies is "good," and they are currently under medical care.
This rare event occurs as Afghanistan's healthcare system faces numerous challenges, including a lack of facilities and specialized personnel. Nevertheless, the successful delivery of the quadruplets has ought a glimmer of hope to the medical staff and the local community.
Shams-ul-Rahman, the father of the newborns, expressed his joy at the birth of his children but also voiced concerns about his economic situation. He has appealed to the Taliban government and charitable organizations for financial assistance to help cover the costs of raising and caring for his four children.
This plea for help comes at a time of soaring poverty and unemployment across Afghanistan, with many families struggling to meet their basic needs. The simultaneous birth of four babies will place a significant financial burden on this family.
The medical community and social activists are hopeful that the father's appeal will be addressed, ensuring that the four infants can grow up in adequate conditions. The event once again highlights the importance of supporting families in need and strengthening maternal and child health services in Afghanistan.
