Fiji conjoined twins prepare for life-saving surgery in Saudi Arabia

A pair of conjoined twins, Di Cecea and Jesipeli Kikau, born in Fiji as part of a triplet set, are preparing for life-saving separation surgery in Saudi Arabia. The twins were born prematurely at the CWM Hospital in Suva, and their survival beyond initial expectations has led to international efforts to secure specialized medical care. The Saudi Arabian government has fully funded the operation, including travel and accommodation for the twins and their family. The twins are scheduled to depart for Riyadh, where they will undergo complex surgery at the King Salman Hospital. This marks the second known case of conjoined twins in the Pacific region within a year, following a similar situation in Papua New Guinea.
