20 Sets of Triplets Leave Hospital in 2023


In the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the country’s 523rd set of triplets was born in the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital on January 14, 2023. On December 24, the 542nd set in the country, the 20th set of the year, left the hospital.
Any woman diagnosed as being pregnant with triplets or quadruplets is immediately sent to the hospital, also called parents’ home by Korean mothers, and put under the special care of the state until she leaves the hospital after delivery. 
On December 22, another set of triplets left the hospital. Their mother is Ryu Un Bok, who lives in Chongam District, Chongjin, North Hamgyong Province in the northern part of the country, and her husband is Kim Song Jin, who works at the Chongjin Youth Railway Station. 
The triplets weighed 1.9 kg, 2.28 kg and 2.46 kg, respectively, when they were born, and each weighed more than 4 kg, when leaving the hospital.
Gold rings or silver daggers are presented to triplets and their parents according to their gender.
