Santrampur: Dr Ranjitsinh Joja, Founder of Surekhaba Hospital in Santrampur, Mahisagar, and his team have achieved a remarkable feat by successfully delivering 26 babies within a 24-hour period, promoting safe and natural childbirth.
The deliveries took place between 12:00 AM on 5 April 2026 and 12:00 AM on 6 April 2026. The newborns included 12 boys and 14 girls.
According to an ANI report, out of these 26 deliveries, the hospital team successfully conducted 24 full-term normal vaginal deliveries and only 2 Caesarean deliveries. The deliveries also included 3 painless normal vaginal deliveries and 2 successful VBACs -- Vaginal Births After Caesarean.
Recognised by World Records India
This extraordinary achievement was officially recognised by World Records India on 1 June 2026 under the record title "Maximum Babies Delivered in 24 Hours."
The recognition highlights not only the record number of babies delivered in a single day, but also the hospital's commitment to promoting safe, natural and medically supervised childbirth.
Dr. Ranjitsinh Joja has so far conducted 13,742 successful deliveries, including 11,569 normal deliveries, 2,163 Caesarean deliveries and 1,056 VBAC deliveries. Despite handling such a large number of cases, the Caesarean rate at the hospital remains only 15.74%.
Surekhaba Hospital has played an important role in providing maternity care to women from rural, tribal and economically weaker communities. For many families in and around Santrampur, the hospital has become a trusted centre for safe delivery and maternal care.
Medical experts say that every delivery decision must be taken according to the condition of the mother and child. However, with experienced doctors, proper monitoring and timely medical support, normal delivery can be safely encouraged in many cases.
Dr. Ranjitsinh Joja's work is being seen not just as a medical success, but as an inspiring example of service, humanity and commitment to safe motherhood, reports ANI.
