(CNN) Halima Cisse, a 25-year-old Malian woman who gave birth to nine babies in Morocco on Tuesday, is in good health. Her nonuplets, five girls and four boys, have a way to go, according to Youssef Alaoui, the medical director of Casablanca's Ain Borja clinic, where the babies were born. "There is still work to do because they are very premature," Alaoui told CNN. Cisse was flown to Morocco by the Malian government on March 30, according to a statement from Mali's health ministry. Before she gave birth, the combined weight of the babies and amniotic fluid inside her womb was 66-88 pounds, according to Alaoui.
