A pair of boy-girl twins have been born one month apart to a young ethnic minority woman in northern Vietnam’s Ha Giang province.
27-year-old Lu Thi Bien, who lives in an ethnic minority village in Hoang Su Phi district, gave birth to her first male child Then Van Chuyen on May 4 after nine months of pregnancy and baby girl Then Thi May on June 5.
“This is the first time I have seen such a case. It sounds unbelievable but it is true,” said Lu Thi Kim, who helped Bien deliver the twins.
Doctor Ma Trung Nghia, deputy director of a general hospital in Hoang Su Phi district, confirmed that the twins’ birthdays are 30 days apart.
Many local doctors are surprised by the rare delivery case. Doctor Vu Ba Quyet, director of the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, told Tuoi Tre that he has not seen any similar case in Vietnam over the past 30 years working in the health sector.
Tran Duc Quy, director of the Ha Giang Health Department, said local authorities will provide care and pay special attention to the young mother.
