Protective helmet for separated twin Jaga
One of the separated Kandhamal conjoined twins, Jaga, was on Thursday made to wear a specially-made protective helmet by doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi.
Sources said the helmet is meant to protect Jaga's skull, which is in the developing stage after the separation surgery.
However, no such helmet was made for the other separated conjoined twin, Kalia, who is also recovering after the surgery.
A five-member team of doctors from SCB Medical College Hospital in Cuttack will be visiting AIIMS-Delhi on Friday to review the health condition of separated conjoined twins.
The separated conjoined twins are likely to be shifted to AIIMS-Bhubaneswar in the first week of March, sources further said.
Notably, the twins hailing from Milipada village in Kandhamal district were separated following a 22-hour-long successful craniopagus surgery by a team of doctors on October 25 and 26 at AIIMS-New Delhi.
