44 babies welcomed on Christmas Day at Port Moresby General Hospital

The Port Moresby General Hospital's Labour ward successfully delivered forty-four newborn babies on Christmas Day.

Of the forty-four babies, seventeen were males, and twenty-seven were females.

The heaviest baby was a 4.5kilogram boy born to Esther Kupun, a 26-year-old mother from a mixed parentage of Jiwaka and Simbu provinces.

The doctors and nurses at the labor ward worked tirelessly to successfully deliver these babies, making sure both the mothers and babies were safe after delivery.
