A rare and remarkable case of conjoined twins was delivered at Braun Hospital in Finschhafen, Morobe Province, two days ago.

Despite limited resources, hospital staff successfully stabilized the newborn boys before arranging their transfer to Lae for further care.

The twins, who are conjoined at the lower portion of their bodies and share some organs, but have separate limbs and genitals, were transferred to Angau Memorial Hospital in Lae for specialized treatment.

Their mother, Fatima Kevin from Finschhafen, shared that while doctors detected two heartbeats during pregnancy, the conjoined condition was only discovered at the time of delivery.

Braun Hospital, a Lutheran church-run facility, has long faced funding challenges but continues to serve the rural community.

Medical staff are now considering sending the twins overseas for possible separation surgery, depending on further evaluation.

Conjoined twins are extremely rare in the country, with only a few documented cases in recent decades.
