Sisters Mannat and Jannat were born conjoined at the lower chest and abdomen - a condition known medically as omphalopagus - and had a combined weight of just 6.6 lbs.

They were delivered at a private hospital in Barara, a town in Ambala district, near Chandigarh, on August 27 , they were then transferred to a larger hospital - Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) - for specialist treatment...

The chances of their birth are 'one in half a million according to Dr Ravi Kanojia, associate professor at the department of paediatric surgery.

'This is a rare case scenario and a surgeon would be fortunate to see a couple of cases in his or her lifetime,' he said. The twins shared a liver but other vital organs were separate. A 30-member team worked for eight hours to separate the twins, ensuring each baby had enought of the vital organ to live a normal life, on November 23. The twins' father, Mohammad Saleem - a labourer who earns only £4 a day and so could not afford basic treatment for his daughters - praised the dedication of medical staff at PGIMER.

He said: 'The doctors at PGI were my last hope and nobody could have attended the twins better than the doctors at this hospital.'

His wife, Sonia, said: 'We have been worried about our children for the last three months but God answered our prayers.'

no mind them. They are experts in going to strikes everyday.

May God be praised...amen!

Apart from Natural Resources which God bestowed in our lands, I would really like to know how much Sub-Saharan Africa has contributed to the advancement and betterment of the world.

Everything we have and do is borrowed (and we can't even copy well):
1. System of Governance
2. System of Education
3. System of Worship
4. Science & Technology
5. etc.

We just can't figure out things for ourselves and the world. We need to reevaluate our place in the world and contribute more. Black Africa needs leadership, something Nigeria is well positioned yet failed miserably to do. The Asians have China to look up to.

I wish the youths can stop venting vile vituperations on social media and start thinking more creatively.

God bless these Dr's and nurses,all the medical practitioners that took part In this surgery.
congratulation little cuties
