Saudi Arabia, under the directive of King Salman bin Abdulaziz, has facilitated the airlift of Nigerian conjoined twins, Hassana and Husaina Hassan Isa, for a complex surgical separation in Riyadh.
These conjoined twins from Kano, Nigeria, are joined at the chest and share vital organs, making their separation a medically intricate and challenging procedure.
But the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSARelief) said a team of renowned Saudi surgeons, and medical professionals has been set in motion to provide these children with the opportunity for a brighter and healthier future, as reported by Daily Trust.
“The surgery, scheduled to take place at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, will mark a groundbreaking moment in the field of pediatric surgery.
