Conjoined twin girls in Kenya born sharing a large intestine are in stable condition after emergency surgery at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) to create a stool passage. The twins, delivered on August 13, 2025, required immediate attention due to an intestinal obstruction and absence of anal openings.

• A specialized paediatric surgical team performed an emergency colostomy on August 17 to resolve the obstruction.
• The twins, weighing a combined 3.6 kilograms, were born in Naivasha and transferred to KNH on August 14.
• Further examinations revealed the twins also present with congenital heart disease, impaired liver function, and a mild blood infection. A multidisciplinary team at KNH is providing specialized care.
