Patna: Subhash Mukhia and his wife Nirmala Devi cannot believe their luck. A well known doctor here has promised the labourers to separate their one-and-half-year-old conjoined twins.
The parents are now hopeful that their daughters Sita and Gita, whose urinary tract and faecal tract are joint, finally have got a chance to get separated and lead normal lives.
“It was a miracle that Ajay Kumar offered to help us,” Subhash, a resident of Bhawanipur village in West Champaran district, about 200 km from here, told IANS.
“The doctor invited us to Patna and promised us all possible help including monetary for the surgery,” the father of two sons and a daughter besides Sita and Gita said.
The twins are likely to be separated in New Delhi’s Batra hospital soon.
The doctor, a urologist and a former president of Indian Medical Association, said the twins play, are normal in every other respect.
“However, since the surgery is a costly one, I request public donations. Treatment procedures in such cases are complicated,” said Kumar, who hails from the same district as Subhash.
