In an unprecedented medical achievement, Halima Cissé, a 25-year-old woman from Mali, has made history by giving birth to nine healthy children at once, setting a Guinness World Record for the most babies born at a single birth to survive. The nonuplets, consisting of five girls and four boys, were delivered via a C-section in Morocco, where Cissé had been flown for specialized high-risk care.
The pregnancy, which occurred naturally without fertility treatments, is considered extraordinarily rare by medical experts. Natural nonuplet pregnancies are almost unheard of, making this birth a remarkable milestone in both obstetrics and human endurance.
Doctors involved in the case reported that all nine infants are thriving and in good health, and they are being closely monitored in a hospital facility in Morocco. Medical teams praised Cissé’s strength and resilience throughout the pregnancy and delivery, highlighting the crucial role of advanced medical care in high-risk pregnancies.
