This story was first published on social media.

Based on unverified reports, a woman named Koumate Monique was pregnant with twins and she was taken to Hôpital Laquintinie in Douala by family members today March 12, 2016, after she was noted not to be well.

By the time the pregnant woman and her significant other exited the taxi, she already lost consciousness. Her Boyfriend placed her on the ground in front of the emergency department of the hospital.

A medical professional (doctor or nurse) with a stethoscope around his neck then came out of the building to take a look at the patient.

He later on confirmed the woman’s death. He (the medical professional) then went back in and closed the gates behind him (supposedly due to lack of funding but this is unverified information as well)

Bystanders then noted increased physical activity from the two babies still inside the deceased’s body.

At some point, Monique’s female relative ran to a pharmacy nearby and came back with a surgical blade, which she used to open her abdomen. The twins were delivered that way.

It is unclear at this point if the babies survived or not. Based on some reports, they both expired right after delivery following failed mouth to mouth resuscitation and other reports state that they both survived.

We will update you as feasible once we find out more about this sad story
