In a remarkable medical achievement, surgeons at the National Institute of Child Health (NICH) successfully performed a complex surgery to separate two-month-old, conjoined twins Naila and Shumaila.. The procedure that lasted between 10 and 12 hours was led by a multidisciplinary team of 10 medical professionals, including four expert surgeons from some of Karachi’s top medical institutions, health officials said on Monday. NICH Executive Director Dr Nasir Suddle emphasised that teamwork made this challenging operation a success. “The surgery was difficult, but successful due to the combined expertise of specialists from the NICH, the Sindh Institute of Child Health and Neonatology, the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, the Aga Khan University Hospital and other private medical experts consulted during the planning phase.”
