Woman Births Baby With 2 Heads in Bangladesh

A woman reportedly welcomed a baby girl with two heads in a Bangladesh hospital on Wednesday. The baby who has been transferred to the intensive care unit of the country’s largest hospital in Dhaka is now being treated for breathing difficulties.

The baby’s father, a poor farm labourer, Jamal Mia, told AFP: “When I saw my baby, I was awestruck. She has two fully developed heads. She is eating with two mouths and breathing with two noses. Still, I thank Allah that she and the mother are now okay.”

He also expressed concern about how he would manage to care for the baby likely huge medical treatment bills. “I feel sad for her. She has been born to a poor man. I don’t have money to even properly treat her mother,” he said.

Abu Kawsar, owner of the Standard Hospital of Total Healthcare where the baby was born by Cesarean section, said initial tests showed the baby only has one set of vital organs.

“Except for having two heads, the newborn has the rest of her organs and limbs like a normal newborn,” he said.

Thousands of people reportedly stormed the hospital where she was born after the news spread.

Kawsar said: “The entire town poured into the clinic. There were thousands of people with some of them coming from the nearby villages. It’s good that the baby has been shifted to Dhaka. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for us to control the crowd.”

A baby was also born in Bangladesh with two heads in 2008 but unfortunately died later.
