Five of them were through a caesarian whilst the others were born through normal delivery.
Officials of MTN presented hampers to the new born babies and their mothers at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the hospital.

She implored other corporate entities to support the hospital through donations.
“They (mothers) have something that may be some of them couldn’t buy”.
Northern Sector Corporate Coordinator of MTN, Isaac Vroom Minnow tells Nhyira News: “MTN believes that we need to share in the season…It's been a wonderful season, we need to celebrate it with some sector of society and the best place to do this is at the hospital with new born”.
