Justice for Veena & Vani Conjoined Twins

Justice for Veena & Vani Conjoined Twins Veena & Vani are conjoined twins who are living in a Childrens Govt Hospital from the last decade in an isolated room without fresh air & light.

Brief History of the last 13 years for the conjoined twins:

- The first stage of the separation surgery was performed in December 2004 by Dr. Yarlagadda Nayudamma in Guntur General Hospital.

- After the surgery, the parents had abandoned the twins, citing poverty and lack of money to fund their education and other needs. The twins were later raised by hospital staff in Guntur but in 2006, they were shifted to Niloufer Hospital in Hyderabad.

- In 2008, Dr. Ashish Mehta, Neurosurgeon of Breach Candy Hospital Mumbai, came forward to perform the surgery but it did not work out.
- Later, Dr. Keith Goh, neurosurgeon from East Shore Hospital, Singapore was invited to India to examine the kids but unfortunately, this also didn’t work out.

- After a series of disappointments, the kids finally got a ray of hope when doctors from UK agreed to examine them in February 2015.

- Subsequently, Dr. David Dunaway and Dr. Owais Jeelani from London examined the kids and said that there was an 80 per cent chance of survival following the surgery.

- Doctors further explained that the entire procedure would be divided into five separate surgeries, which would take around six to twelve months to accomplish. The twins share an important blood vessel and this is where the risk lies, the doctors added.

- Later, the Telangana government wrote a letter to AIIMS, saying that the government was ready in principle, to bear all the expenses of the surgery.

- Responding to the letter, AIIMS doctors visited Hyderabad in December 2015 to examine the kids but conveyed the need to study the case once again because of some complications in the surgery.

- As per latest reports, various test relating to Neuro imaging and vascular re imaging as advised by the AIMS team of neuro and plastic surgeons have been completed under the supervision of Niloufer Hospital and AIMS has submitted a report to Niloufer hospital that surgical separation of the conjoined twins will pose high risk and may cause severe morbidity too mortality and the same has been communicated to the parents of the conjoined twins by the hospital authorities. However the parents have expressed their willingness to take the risk and submitted a letter to the hospital dated 27th June 2016, giving their consent for the surgery.
