Thirteen bouncing babies were delivered at the two state hospitals in the capital on Christmas morning.

The nursing staff at the Katutura State Hospital were in a cheerful mood; on Christmas day, they saw the deliveries of nine girls and two boys, all healthy.

Registered nurse Kristofina Amaambo says the feeling of delivering Christmas babies is overwhelming.

Though she has done it on many occasions over the years, each time is a new and fresh experience.

Baby Immanuel was the first to be delivered at the Katutura state hospital maternity ward.
