Doctors at the Regional Hospital of Lambayeque in Chiclayo, Peru, successfully delivered triplets via cesarean section.
Yasury Espinoza Castro, a 30-year-old mother from the José Leonardo Ortiz district, gave birth to the three babies at 36 weeks of gestation. The hospital reports this is the first multiple birth they’ve handled in 2026.
A multidisciplinary team of medical professionals monitored the pregnancy and planned the surgery due to the challenges multiple pregnancies pose, including risks of premature birth and restricted fetal growth. The triplets each had their own placenta, a factor contributing to the positive outcome. Between January and September of 2026, the hospital assisted with 1,046 births, including 729 high-complexity cesarean sections and 317 vaginal deliveries.
Before the surgery, the mother thanked the medical team for their care and encouraged other pregnant women to attend all scheduled prenatal checkups.
