Amlekha Bairva (22 years old) – the mother of this baby, gave birth last month at a small local hospital. Soon after, she was transferred to JK Lone Hospital, Jaipur, Northern Rajasthan state for further diagnosis.
It is known that this newborn is a girl and has yet to be named. When she was born, she weighed only about 2kg with another head on top of her stomach.
Currently, the baby is being closely observed at the Newborn Care Center at the hospital. Doctors hope to be able to operate to separate the head from the abdomen as soon as the baby’s health condition stabilizes
Dr. Chetan Sharma, the pediatric surgeon at JK Lone hospital who will be in charge of the surgery, hopes that the operation will be a success.
“This is a case called Hetropagus, commonly known as the ‘parasitic twin’,” he said. Such cases have been successfully operated so far.”
He added: “This baby is a healthy baby with a normal heart rate. Your baby doesn’t have any extra complications inside or outside of her body and this increases her chances of survival. We are confident that the surgery will be successful and that the baby will have a normal life unaffected in the future.”
