RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has showcased the Kingdom鈥檚 remarkable three decades of separating Siamese twins from countries across the world, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Thursday.
Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, supervisor general of KSrelief, presented the history of the medical procedures to over 500 doctors and researchers in Krakow, Poland.
The humanitarian program has seen 52 sets of twins successfully separated, while the Kingdom鈥檚 doctors supervised a further 124 cases around the globe, the SPA reported.
This project included the Kingdom鈥檚 initiative in 2005 to separate the Polish Siamese twins Daria and Olika, which took over 18 hours, said Al-Rabeeah.
KSrelief鈥檚 work has put smiles on the faces of the families because it has allowed their children to live normal lives, said Al-Rabeeah.
He thanked the Saudi government for helping the country鈥檚 doctors to perform this work, which has also allowed the nation鈥檚 healthcare sector to develop unmatched expertise in the field.
