Whao..This is truly ground breaking. I pray those Kids recover fully and strong. One of the Best stories coming from Kenya as of recent. The environment of that surgery theatre looks well equipped. I wish this serves as an eye opener to our government officials, who would rather spend millions to travel overseas for medicals than coming together to built and equip our Hospitals with the necessary equipments. Kudos to the Doctors& Nurses. 32 Likes |

talktonase:Oh no, you're wrong! I know a particular clinic with exact same theatre like the one pictured above with C-arm here in Nigeria. The theatre is working perfectly well and correct surgeries are taking place right there in Lagos. We have experts in Nigeria. Though most of them are not fully based here but they perform the surgeries here, I tell you. Have no shame , we'll soon see amazing wonders come out from our theatres right here in Nigeria. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

ULSHERLAN:Actually Kenya is chock full of good news. This kind of news is the norm, rather than the exception here. Most of what folks read on NL is peddled by faceless and nameless morons and is raggedy gossip culled from like minded websites and sleazy media masquerading as "news". Does that represent the picture of a nation? I would advise you to follow respectable news outlets from there to get anything called news. These are mainstream media outlets ,just to mention a few that instantly come to mind: http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/mobile/category/41/health http://www.the-star.co.ke http://mobile.nation.co.ke Am sure one can navigate their way around those sites to get the news that interests them. That being said, it's always a pleasure to see medical science make advances, and even better to see people who only a few decades ago, would have almost certainly not make it to live productive lives on account of physical deformity.

This is so awesome.... Great one Kenyans.... But this is not the first successful conjoined twins surgery done in Africa. The first or one of the first was done by Ben Carson and a team of Zambian and South African doctors and more in South Africa. It was the case of the banda boys. They were conjoined twins also albeit Craniopagus conjoined kind. This one from kenya is Omphalopagus conjoined kind. Craniopagus and Omphalopagus are both kinds of conjoined conditions seen in certain twins who joined together. Another is Thoracopagus(joined at the chest) and Thoraco-omphalopagus (joined at chest and upper/lower abdomen). So in all.... Great news and awesome achievement all the way from the land of Kenyatta, home to top schools like Egerton, Jomo kenyatta and more. Kudos.... But this isn't the first successful conjoined twins separation surgery done on African soil. 8 Likes |

Well said Madam Amicable..... In lagos, a lot is indeed happening in certain top private medical facilities. Nigerian operating theatres will one day produce the "magic" and beauty we all dream of and hear from lands beyond.... We're slowly but surely on the rise..... amicable09: 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd:Yes, we are I've seen some magic already come out from our theatres. What I once watched on TV (Dr. 90210) and Grey's Anatomy, I have seen live in an operating theatre in Lagos. Like you've rightly said, the rise may seem slow but it is sure! We are rising medically. |
