Surgeons at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital have successfully separated a three-month-old pair of Siamese twins.
Joy News’ Seth Kwame Boateng reported that after almost nine hours of surgery by 17 hospital doctors, the conjoined babies were successfully separated and have been placed on separate beds.
One of the doctors, Raphael Kuma Ametepe, said the twins had been joined at the abdomen.
The infants’ story garnered a great deal of national attention and sympathy after it was highlighted in a Hotline Documentary on Joy FM.
The surgery to separate the twins was postponed twice due to their feverish condition, which doctors needed to monitor for some time before they could perform the surgery.
The MTN Foundation donated Gh¢20,000 towards the surgery while Joy FM and its listeners donated Gh¢12,970 to the babies’ parents.
