PHOTOS: Conjoined Twins See Each Other For The First Time After Successful Surgery In Kenya
Conjoined twins, Favour and Blessing, who were successfully separated at the Kenyatta National Hospital on November 2, 2016, finally got to see each other face-to-face for the first time since their birth in 2014 after the delicate surgery.
A team of 60 Kenyan doctors successfully separated the twins, who were born joined at the lower back, after a 23-hour surgery, making history in the process. The team that worked on the children included paediatric surgeons, neurosurgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, anaesthetists and nursing teams.
According to Yen, this was the first operation of its kind to be performed in Kenya and Sub-Sahara Africa. The twins, who were born in September 2014, are currently in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and are expected to make a full recovery.
