7 Billionth Baby in the World Who was Born in Armenia Weighs 2.5 kg

Armenia’s symbolic 7-billionth-baby-in-the-world was born this morning in a maternity ward in Artik, a city in the country’s northwestern province (marz) of Shirak.

Dr. Simon Manukyan welcomed little baby Vahram Voskanyan into the world.

Doctos say the baby, 49 cm tall and weighing 2.5 kg, is healthy. UNFPA Armenia, which organized the media visit to Artik, brought care items for the baby (diapers, wet towels and so on), while Artik mayor Khachatur Varagyan, also at the hospital for the occasion, gave a gift of a cross to Vahram’s mother and offered to be the baby’s godfather.
