Limpopo separated twins stable, one now breathing on own: Ramathuba


Limpopo Premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba says the separated conjoined twins are in a stable condition.
Ramathuba was speaking during Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi’s visit to the Mankweng hospital outside Polokwane, where the surgery to separate the twins took place on Tuesday.
Premier Ramathuba says one of the twins has been taken off the neonatal incubator.
“Our babies are doing very well, the team has been updating us daily through Prof and the hospital CEO. One baby has been extubated now, breathing on his own and the other, one step at a time. But otherwise, as the provincial government, we continue to say Mankweng hospital remains our pride,” she says.
