The twins were born joined at the belly and have remained in the hospital ever since.
The surgery to separate them had to be postponed twice as a result their feverish condition, which doctors said needed to be monitored for some time before the surgery could be performed.
Their condition is now stabilized and pediatrician Dr Nimako Boateng told Joy News that the stage is set for the surgery to be performed tomorrow.

The MTN Foundation donated Gh¢ 20,000 towards the surgery while Joy FM and its listeners donated Gh¢ 12,970 to the babies’ parents.
