Bhubaneswar: Following the separation surgery of craniopagus twins Jaga-Kalia at AIIMS New Delhi, their health condition is stated to be stable now.
Briefing mediapersons here, Odisha Health Minister Pratap Jena today said that health condition of the twins is stable now and Jaga is recovering faster than Kalia.
“Jaga’s health condition is improving faster than that of Kalia. He has started moving his hands. As per the AIIMS doctors, it will take some more time for the twins to be completely stable,” said the Minister.
“We all are hopeful that the twins would recover completely with the grace of Lord Jagannath and return to Odisha soon,” Jena added.
The craniopagus twins from Kandhamal are now kept in the ICU at AIIMS, New Delhi and under direct observation of the experts.
They were separated after a marathon surgery that lasted around 11 hours at the AIIMS on October 25. A team of 30 doctors from various departments, including neurosurgery, neuro-anesthesia and pediatrics were in the medical team that completed the second phase surgery on the twins.
The second phase surgery was done before scheduled time as Jaga’s health had deteriorated.
