First-time father Paul Mwanjala (not his real name) dubs the birth of his baby girl last month "a miracle". He and his wife had waited seven years before successfully conceiving their first child via in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
Various tests run on the couple had found that Mrs Mwanjala, in her late 30s, was fine but that Paul, in his early 40s, had very few sperms in his semen which made conception a challenge.
