Fijian conjoined twins Jesipeli and Di Cecea Kikau have safely reached Saudi Arabia, where they will undergo specialist medical assessments to determine whether they are suitable candidates for separation surgery.
The twins were born at the CWM in Suva alongside their sister, Hossana, and have since captured the hearts of many Fijians with their remarkable journey.
The twins and their family reached Riyadh yesterday and were transferred to King Abdullah Specialist Children's Hospital, where a team of specialists from the Saudi Conjoined Twins Programme will assess their condition.
The medical support was made possible through the directives of Saudi Arabia's King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The assessment will determine whether separation surgery is possible and the next steps in the care of the two Fijian girls.
Dr Abdullah Al Rabeeah, who heads the Saudi Conjoined Twins Programme, thanked the Saudi leadership for supporting the humanitarian initiative.
The twin's family has also expressed their gratitude to the Saudi leadership and people for the warm welcome and for giving their daughters the opportunity to receive specialised medical care.
