Odisha Twins Who Were Joined At The Head, Set To Return Home, Separated

Joined at the head since birth and recently separated in a landmark surgery at AIIMS, Odisha twins Jaga and Kalia are likely to be discharged next month. Sources said the twins had recuperated well after surgery.

“Jaga is taking normal feed. He is healthier. Kalia is little weak. He is on mechanical ventilation, which will be removed in March. After that, we plan to discharge both of them,” a senior doctor said. The twins, nearly three years old now, were admitted to AIIMS in July where doctors separated them in a surgery conducted in two phases.
