A pair of conjoined twin girls were delivered at the Castle Street Hospital for Women in Colombo earlier this week (10), hospital officials confirmed.
Hospital Director Dr. Ajith Danthanarayana said the twins were born via Caesarean section to a 29-year-old mother from Pannala. One of the babies weighed 2.2 kilograms, with a combined birth weight of 4.4 kilograms.
Both infants are currently reported to be in stable condition.
The twins are joined at the abdomen, and doctors have planned a separation surgery to be performed at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children in approximately three months.
Following their discharge, the babies will be transferred to Lady Ridgeway Hospital for further medical assessments and preparations ahead of the surgery.
