Parents unwilling to take conjoined twins home, asks govt helpParents unwilling to take conjoined twins home, asks govt help

Parents of conjoined twins Veena and Vani from Hyderabad, Mr Naga and Ms Maragani Murali, have approached Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari and requested the government to take care of their kids

Parents of conjoined twins Veena and Vani from Hyderabad, Mr Naga and Ms Maragani Murali, have approached Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari and requested the government to take care of their kids.

The parents say that they are not in a situation to take them home despite an All India Institute of Medical Sciences report that said that their separation surgery could be life-threatening.stating that surgery to separate them would be life-threatening.

Mr Murali has filed a petition saying that as he could not take care of the girls the government should be taking care of the twins and also provide housing and employment.

The issue has cropped up after the parents were unable to give a decision to the doctors in Niloufer Hospital for the future course of action. They were given five days to decide about the girls as they are 13 and can't be kept at the hospital any longer.

Veena and Vani are intelligent and doing fairly well in studies and a tutor teaches the girls in the hospital. Ms Ayama Padmavati, their caretaker for the last three years said, “The girls are smart, intelligent and disciplined. They are well-mannered and listen to the hospital staff. Now as they are 13 years old the doctors want them to be shifted.”

Two to three ayahs take care of the twins in shifts and attend to all their needs right from food, clothing to even disciplining them when needed.

Dr Ramesh Reddy, professor and head of the department of paediatric surgery, said, “Due to their increasing age it is becoming difficult to keep them in the hospital. The girls need to go to their home or they require to be rehabilitated in a proper home where they can be well looked after.”

Other doctors said that they had approached the best surgeons in the world for their separation but they all said  surgery was risky. Meanwhile the twin’s parents, whenever approached by government authorities, have cited their inability to take care of the girls.
