Ugandan woman, 70, has twins after fertility treatment

Spokesman Arthur Matsiko said Namukwaya had been receiving fertility treatment at the facility.

"She's healthy. She's talking. She's walking around if they tell her to walk around the hospital," Matsiko said on Friday.

Namukwaya had a daughter at the same facility in 2020 following IVF treatment.

She is the oldest woman to deliver a baby at the hospital, which specialises in helping couples who struggle to have children.

Breakthroughs in research are improving success rates in IVF treatment. A 73-year-old woman in southern India gave birth to twin girls in 2019 after getting IVF care.
