Separated Odisha conjoined twin Jaga wears protective helmet

New Delhi/Bhubaneswar: One of the separated conjoined twins from Odisha-Jaga was today made to wear a specially prepared protective helmet by the doctors at AIIMS-New Delhi to protect his skull which is in the developing stage after separation surgery.

However, no such helmet has been made for the other separated conjoined twin Kalia, sources in AIIMS revealed.

A five-member team of doctors from SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack will be visiting AIIMS-Delhi tomorrow to review health condition of separated conjoined twins-Jaga and Kalia, the sources added.
