A 70-yr-old woman has become “Africa’s oldest mother” after giving birth to twins, reports Sky.

Safina Namukwaya gave birth to a boy and a girl on November 29 after in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment at the Women’s Hospital International and Fertility Center in Kampala, Uganda.

The Center described the birth as “historic”.

“We’ve achieved the extraordinary – delivering twins to Africa’s oldest mother aged 70!” it said in a statement on Facebook, reports Sky.
