A total of 37 babies were delivered at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in the Kumasi metropolis during the new year.
Fifteen of them were males and 22 females. They were all born on the New Year day.
According to the Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Mr Kwame Frimpong, all the babies were very healthy at the time of delivery.
He said the first baby was a boy and was delivered at exactly 12:10a.m. by one Ms Linda Debra, who resided at Atonsu S- Line, a suburb of Kumasi.
Mr Frimpong told the Daily Graphic that while 25 of the babies were born through spontaneous vagina deliveries (SVDs), 12 were through Caesarian sections and that the babies and their mothers were very healthy.
