PNG Hospital Declines Overseas Referral for Conjoined Twins
Port Moresby General Hospital in Papua New Guinea has announced that conjoined twins from Lae will not be referred overseas for treatment due to significant clinical risks.
The twins, joined at the lower abdomen, share vital organs and have complex cardiac, respiratory, and renal issues.
Any attempt at separation now could result in the loss of one twin, according to specialists.
- The babies require careful monitoring and ongoing neonatal support.
- Specialists warn of significant risks associated with separation at this stage.
Director of Medical Services Dr. Kone Sobi expressed concern for the parents, who are processing difficult and conflicting information while hoping for the best outcome.
