A team of medics at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) has successfully separated conjoined twins.

The babies, who belong to Rebecca Nkunda, a resident of Kakooba in Mbarara city, weighed 3.5 kg each.

The twins were born in the 33rd week, contrary to the 40 weeks of normal delivery, according to Dr. Deus Twesigye, a senior consultant and general surgeon.

Dr. Celestine Barigye, the hospital director, disclosed that twins were delivered at Ruharo mission hospital, which referred them to Mbarara regional referral hospital.

Dr. Twesigye, who led the team of eight medics, revealed that it took them eight hours on Thursday, April 26, 2022, to separate the intestines and bladder that the duo shared.

He further revealed that the babies are responding to post-operation medication in the intensive care unit under close supervision by experts.

This is the second time Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital has conducted such a successful operation. The last one, though considered minor, happened in 2014 and was led by Dr. Martin Situma, the senior pediatric surgeon.

While presiding over today’s plenary sitting, Speaker of Parliament Anita Among applauded the medics.

“I want to congratulate the medical team from Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital for successfully separating conjoined twins. It gives us pride when such complicated surgeries can be performed in our regional hospitals,” said Among.
