Speaking during a briefing held to announce the successful operation, the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, said the feat was an indication that Nigerian hospitals were ready to compete with the best in the world.
“The ability of these experts to work together means that we can stand up to many international hospitals, as far as advanced surgery is concerned. This is a complex one involving conjoined twins with one liver.” “We also needed to determine if they could survive separately after separation. We found out that they had two separate hearts that were normal, but with a common cover. They also shared the lower half of the chest and there was only one liver serving the two of them. Other organs were separate and normal.”
Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Jaf Momoh, said at the event that the parents of the twins would have spent more than N20m if they could afford travelling abroad, adding that the hospital took care of all the bills.
congratulations twins. Grow to fulfil destiny. With proper funding, our medical service will be up there. Weldone to all the medical officers.
