There has been a significant increase in the number of twins delivered at the Georgetown Public Hospital since the beginning of this year, a release yesterday from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) stated.
It noted that the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) has been kept busy with an uptick in twin births this year in twin births this year. In July, NICU cared for five sets of twins, followed by three sets in August, and with the month just beginning, it has already welcomed two sets for September.
According to the release, a total of 17 sets of twins have passed through NICU so far this year, reflecting a remarkable trend of multiple births, and prompting Dr Natasha France, one of GPHC’s gynaecologists to mirthfully remark, “It must be something in the water.”
