The Koforidua Regional Hospital on Tuesday, Christmas day, recorded 11 deliveries, which produced 12 babies.

The babies, eight males and four females, including a set of twins, were born through normal means, but three of them were through caesarean operation.

The New Life Evangelistic Ministry in Koforidua donated toilet rolls, baby diapers, soap, detergents and milk to mothers of the babies and the nursing staff of the hospital.

Head of the church, Pastor George Manu Boakye, said the gesture was in fulfillment of the church’s duty to visit and donate to the prisons, needy homes and hospitals regularly.
