The quintuplets, the first of their kind in the DPRK, left the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital on June 19.

The mother of the quintuplets (three girls and two boys) who were born on January 31 is Pak Kyong Sim living in neighbourhood unit No. 76 in Janghyon-dong, Moranbong District, and their father Son Chung Hyo is a student of Pyongyang College of Commercial Service.

Pak Kyong Sim was urgently sent to the maternity hospital soon after being confirmed as being pregnant with several embryos. And she received the best medical assistance, including scientific and advanced treatment for pregnancy maintenance, under the special care of a medical team, and safely gave birth to babies.

The babies who have grown up in the incubators weigh over 4.7kg, and the fourth baby (boy) 6.48kg.

The healthy mother and quintuplets were warmly seen off by doctors and nurses of the maternity hospital.
