Riyadh begins separation of Moroccan twins
A medical and surgical team at King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital in Riyadh has begun the separation process of the Moroccan conjoined twins "Saja and Dhia," who are 13 months old. This operation comes in response to the directives of King Salman and the Crown Prince. The twins, who arrived in the Kingdom in April 2026, are joined at the chest and abdomen, sharing the membranes of the heart, liver, and intestines. Additionally, one of the twins has a laryngeal issue that requires endoscopic treatment. The procedure, which is expected to take about 10 hours and involves 23 specialists, is a highly delicate operation with a success rate exceeding 70%. It is the fourth such operation for Morocco within a Saudi program that has been caring for approximately 159 twins from 28 countries since 1990.
