RIYADH — Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, Advisor at the Royal Court and Supervisor General of King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), received at the center’s headquarters in Riyadh on Wednesday Omani conjoined twins Safa and Marwa Al-Jardani, who underwent successful surgery to separate adhesions in the skull, brain membrane and intervening veins at King Abdulaziz Medical City of the National Guard in Riyadh in 2007.

The twins were accompanied by their father Mohammed bin Nasser Al-Jardani as well as their mother.

Dr. Al Rabeeah stressed that the high international status reached by the Saudi program for separating conjoined twins would not have been realized without the unlimited support and attention of Saudi Arabia’s wise leadership, adding that the Kingdom has become specialized in performing complex surgical operations due to its human capabilities and advanced technology that made it a destination for patients within the country and abroad.

Dr. Al Rabeeah noted that the program reflects the Kingdom’s humanitarian responsibility to relieve human suffering.

The parents of the Omani twins expressed their appreciation to the Kingdom's government and the Saudi people for harnessing the necessary efforts to conduct the separation and treatment of their two children, stressing that this gesture had a great impact on their lives. —SPA
