After a gap of about one and a half years, conjoined twin survivor Jaga has been brought to the SCB Medical College Hospital here for a health checkup.
Professor Sudhansu Sekhar Mishra of the Neurosurgery Department conducted an MRI scan on the seven-year-old boy on Friday.
Source said a team of doctors headed by Dr Deepak Kumar Gupta, who had successfully carried out a craniopagus surgery to separate the conjoined twins Jaga-Balia, would visit the SCB Hospital to examine Jaga’s health condition on June 18 and 19.
Jaga has been kept at a special cell of trauma casualty where he was found playing with a mobile phone on Friday. He is stated to be in normal condition post surgery.
Jaga lost his sibling Balia three years after the surgery. Balia died of septicaemia at the SCB on November 25, 2020.
Jaga and Balia, who were joined at the head from their birth, had been separated at the AIIMS, New Delhi after a successful marathon surgery by a team of doctors led by neurosurgeons Prof Ashok Mahapatra and Dr Deepak Gupta in 2017.
