” I have also seen the children and they are doing well, we will support them financially and pay the bills”.
Responding, the Medical Director, Federal Medical Centre Umuahia, Professor Azubuike Onyebuchi, said that with the facilities in the hospital every effort is geared towards reviving the woman.
Prof. Onyebuchi explained that her complications was caused by the number of children she was delivered of.
