Zim braces for second op of conjoined twins
Herald Reporter
Zimbabwean surgeons will separate conjoined twins born two months ago as soon as they have raised the urgent funds to buy equipment at Sally Mugabe Central Hospital.
Government, through the Ministry of Health and Child Care has already directed the hospital to set aside a budget and has promised backing.
The operation will be the second such in Zimbabwe, but the hospital urgently needs to buy more equipment as the surgery should be done by Monday next week.
The conjoined twins were born at the hospital and their parents are smallholder farmers from Banket. The twin girls are conjoined from the abdomen and part of their pelvis.
