About conjoined twin sisters
Veena and Vani was born in 2003 as conjoined twins to couple in Mahabubnagar district of Telangana. Their parents denied taking them as they could not afford their treatment. The twins stayed in Nilopher hospital till the age 12 and were later shifted to State Home.
Doctors have attempted to separate the twins, however, they could not succeed. Several medical and surgical experts from India, the United Kingdom, and Singapore have examined the twins over the year in a bid to find a way to separate them. It was earlier estimated that the complex procedure would cost around Rs 10 crore. However, it is risky as their veins are tangled up and an operation could not be done yet.
