World’s First Surviving Nonuplets Turn Five and Head to School
Five years after rewriting medical history, the Cissé nonuplets are preparing to begin school.
The nine children were born on May 4, 2021, to Halima Cissé at the Ain Borja clinic in Casablanca, Morocco, in a rare delivery that saw all of them survive, a first confirmed by Guinness World Records.
What made their story extraordinary was not just the number, but the outcome. Against medical expectations, all nine babies lived and continued to grow.
Today, the five girls and four boys have reached a new stage, preparing for school like any other children.
Their journey remains one of the most remarkable stories of survival in modern medicine.
