Zimbabwean paediatric surgeons successfully separated conjoined twin girls born three months ago, in an incredibly complex 18-hour operation at the children’s wing at Sally Mugabe Central Hospital in Harare.
Anotidaishe and Atipaishe were joined at the abdominal-pelvic region, sharing a liver and some parts of their intestines, making the operation exceptionally complex.
In a press statement, Sally Mugabe Central Hospital said the hospital was happy to announce that its teams of healthcare staff had managed to successfully separate the conjoined twins on 23 February at the age of 73 days.

HARARE East MP and MDC Alliance vice president Tendai Biti has raised concerns about the safety and effectiveness of the Sinopharm vaccine donated to the country by the Chinese government on Monday.
Biti speaking on a point of privilege as Parliament resumed business Tuesday queried several issues regarding the vaccine highlighting that it was yet to be approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The former Finance minister told Parliament Speaker Jacob Mudenda that government was also yet to present a comprehensive roll-out plan for the vaccination process.
“As it is, the national roll-out plan is absent. There is no evidence that the Chinese vaccine has been approved by WHO. Yes, we believe the best solution to control the disease is through vaccination. The Health minister should issue a ministerial statement to the National Assembly.
