Conjoined twins still in intensive care

DENPASAR, Bali: The conjoined twins of I Gusti Ngurah Ekalaya Kunta and Gusti Ayu Ketut Sriani are still in intensive care at the Denpasar General Hospital.

"Both baby girls are in good health," said Dr. I Wayan Sutarga, the head of the team treating the twins in Denpasar on Tuesday. The twins share a heart.

He said that it was the second time the hospital had treated conjoined twins. In mid 2002, doctors had not been able to separate conjoined twins due to a viral infection.

This time, the twins were being treated by a team of specialists. It was not certain whether or not the operation would take place in Bali. -- Antara
