“Happy New Year to you all. I’m glad to inform you that Walking Egg Medical Infertility Centre recorded quadruplets today – that’s four babies from one pregnancy. So, we’ve made history.

“This was through intra-uterine insemination (IUI) in Ghana. I know many children have come from IUI. We’ve had quadruplets from IVF, but I’m yet to find out whether there has been any recorded incident of quadruplets from IUI,” he said in a video shared on social media.
