Columbia Asia Hospital–Tebrau unveiled their first double sets of newborn twins this Raya month. It was extra special for 2 couples when they experienced as parents for the first time to welcome a new member of the family despite of the country’s nationwide lockdown brought on by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
The babies were born after 6 years of waiting time for Geraldine Anne David, 32 and Jaya Kothandapani A/L Sik Baluraj, 33, a business owner. They went thru IVF treatment for many years and their wish finally came through when they were blessed with identical twin boys through C-section by Dr. Sureshkumar Subramaniam, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecology and Maternal-Fetal Medicine. The first healthy boy was born at 10.32am, followed by a second adorable boy at 10.33am weighing 2.49kg and 2.39kg respectively.
After 36 hours later, the hospital welcomed the 2nd pair of twins. The fraternal twins, a boy and a girl, were born healthy to parents Wong Jia Wen, 30 who work as a clerk and Choy Chee Puh, 35 who works in Singapore. They too have been looking forward to this day for many years.
The couple said they have been planning for 5 years through IVF treatments to happen and they felt extremely excited when they knew they were expecting a new addition to the family. IVF is beyond your control, but God has certainly grated their wishes.
The newborn twins, a baby boy weighing 2.07kg and baby girl weighing 2.0kg were delivered by the hospital visiting consultant, Dr. Tan Jui Seng, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecology through C-section as well.
The parents felt happy and blessed with healthy and adorable babies and most importantly a safe delivery under the good hands of these two Obstetrician & Gynecologist Specialists, midwives, nurses including Dr. Farzana Mohd Yusof who is the Consultant Pediatrician. All the families were presented with a celebratory hamper by Regional General Manager, Rahani Yaacob.
