In a heartwarming yet challenging development, Adnan Sheikh, a resident of Baldia Town, Karachi, has become the father of quintuplets — five babies born simultaneously — sparking joy among the family and community.
According to hospital sources, the babies were born prematurely at just 29 weeks of pregnancy through an emergency C-section. Due to low birth weight and breathing difficulties, all five newborns were immediately placed on oxygen support. Initial lab tests have been conducted, and doctors report that the babies’ conditions are gradually improving.
Adnan Sheikh, who works as a driver and got married just a year ago, expressed immense joy at the birth of his children. However, the mounting medical expenses have placed him under serious financial stress. He has appealed to the government, welfare organizations, and generous individuals to come forward and support the ongoing treatment and care of his newborns.
Local residents and relatives have shared their best wishes and are rallying around the family during this extraordinary time. Hospital authorities confirm that the babies are under constant medical supervision. Medical experts emphasize that premature babies require intensive care in the early days, which are critical to their survival and long-term health.
Speaking to the media, Adnan Sheikh said he is grateful to Allah that all five babies are alive and under the care of dedicated doctors. He acknowledged that this is both a test and a blessing — one that he accepts with patience and prayers.
