RIYADH: Egyptian conjoined twins Salma and Sarah are expected to arrive in Saudi Arabia in the next few days for medical tests before surgery.
The twins, who are joined at the head, will arrive in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, for checks to determine the best option for separation surgery at King Abdullah Specialist Children’s Hospital.
The toddlers will be the 118th conjoined twins to be examined by the National Saudi Program for Separating Conjoined Twins, which has helped families from as many as 22 countries.
Chief of the medical team Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, who is also the head of the largest Saudi aid agency, thanked the Kingdom’s leadership for the humanitarian initiative.
