Exceptional event at Aprilia City Hospital: in just 48 hours, 17 babies (6 boys and 11 girls) were born. This is wonderful news all the more so since it occurs at a time in history when the birth rate is steadily declining.Hospital General Director Gabriele Coppa commented, “We are thrilled to announce this extraordinary result. The birth of so many babies in a short period of time is a sign of hope and vitality for our community. This event represents a countertrend to national data showing a reduction in births, and makes us reflect on the importance of supporting families as they grow.”
