Every year, the center’s doctors deliver about 7,800 babies, the doctor says.
“In general, yes, more boys are born, and, if you believe the superstitions, during wartime, mostly boys are born.
But this year, our first baby was a girl. I want to believe that there will indeed be peace this year. And this girl, who was born at one minute, will live in a peaceful country,” he added.
