Summary A woman had given birth to triplets out of which two are conjoined twins

MULTAN (Dunya News) – The conjoined sisters born in Multan two days ago have been transferred to the Children’s Complex on Saturday but the doctors are still indecisive about the separation surgery because only one of them can be saved.

According to details, a woman had given birth to triplets at a private hospital two days ago out of which two are conjoined twins.

The doctors said the conjoined sisters share one heart and liver and therefore the decision to separate them will be taken by the medical board after the MRI scan.

However, after the Health Adviser’s notice, the twins have been transferred to the Children’s Complex where both of them have been placed at Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Both the girls are in incubator and are being pumped artificial respiration.

As per the MS Children’s Complex, the Health Department and Punjab government have directed to provide immediate treatment to the twins; however the decision will be taken after hospital’s surgeons meeting.
