Ugandan woman who welcomed twins at 70 shares first photos of babies
A Ugandan woman who made headlines after welcoming twins via in vitro fertilization (IVF) at 70 is taking her babies home.
Safina Namukwaya welcomed twins — a boy and a girl — in late November at Women’s Hospital International and Fertility Centre in Uganda.
On Saturday, the mom of three was able to bring her son and daughter home for the first time.
“At 70, Safina Namukwaya’s maternal love blossoms into a miracle, cradling twins alongside Dr. Edward Tamale-Sali,” the photo’s caption, shared on the hospital’s Facebook page, reads.
“Their hands hold not just babies, but gems of hope, proving that a mother’s love transcends time and age. In this emblematic moment at Women’s Hospital International and Fertility Centre, the joy of motherhood shines unblemished, echoing the resilient spirit of Africa where every dream is nurtured with love and care.”
Namukwaya named her daughter Shakira Babiyre Nabagala, and named her son Kato Shafique Kangave.
