What was meant to be a joyful milestone for a growing family quickly turned into anxiety and uncertainty for a Ghanaian father after his wife delivered quadruplets instead of triplets, as doctors had earlier detected during prenatal scans.
The man recounted that throughout the pregnancy, scans indicated his wife was carrying three babies.

Confident they were preparing to welcome triplets, he was therefore unprepared for the moment hospital staff informed him that his wife had delivered four babies.
His wife was rushed to the Twifo Praso Government Hospital after she went into labour. Following delivery, all four babies were placed in incubators, significantly increasing medical expenses.
Already a father of three, the man said the arrival of four additional children has placed an enormous financial burden on him.
He explained that he is solely responsible for the cost of the operation, incubator care and other hospital bills.

Overwhelmed by the mounting expenses, he has appealed to the public, philanthropic organisations, the government and the Member of Parliament for Wassa East, Isaac Adjei Mensah, to come to his aid.
“The financial cost we have incurred terrifies me. I am collapsing under the weight of this burden. I have even considered absconding and leaving my wife and children behind, though that is not the best thing to do. I feel I have very few options left.”

Mother of quadruplets calls for support
Speaking to reporters, the mother who delivered the quadruplets said she and her husband, already parents of three children, had been preparing to welcome just three, only to be told in the labour ward that she had given birth to four.
According to her, she had mixed feelings because, throughout her pregnancy, prenatal scans did not indicate she was carrying four babies.
Overwhelmed by the unexpected development and the rising medical costs, she appealed to well-meaning individuals and philanthropists to support her family and help ease the financial burden.
