First lady Djene Kaba arranged for her to be treated in Morroco
A woman pregnant with quintuplets in Guinea has been flown to Morocco because local state-run hospitals are not in a position to handle the birth of five babies.
First Lady Hadja Djene Kaba arranged for her to be treated at a clinic in Morocco and the government has promised to pay the bill.
The woman flew out on a regular flight from the capital, Conkary, with her husband and personal medic.
She is six months pregnant, according to medical sources.
She was admitted to a state-run hospital in Conakry on 2 November for unspecified complications.
The woman comes from a poor family, and the first lady’s intervention has been widely welcomed here.
Her name has not been released.
There are only two state hospitals in Conakry, and facilities are poor.
