In implementation of the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Jamaican conjoined twins Azaria and Azura arrived in Riyadh on Monday with their parents for an evaluation to determine the feasibility of a separation surgery.
The twins were transported from Jamaica aboard the Ministry of Defence’s medical evacuation aircraft. Upon arrival at King Khalid International Airport, they were transferred to King Abdullah Specialist Children's Hospital at the Ministry of National Guard’s King Abdulaziz Medical City to undergo an evaluation of their condition.
Advisor to the Royal Court, Supervisor General of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief centre (KSrelief), and head of the surgical team Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah expressed his deep gratitude to the Kingdom’s leadership for the initiative. He stated that the gesture reflects Saudi Arabia's advanced medical capabilities and its significant humanitarian role in assisting children with complex medical conditions globally.
Al Rabeeah noted that the Saudi medical team's extensive experience in successfully separating twins has made Saudi Arabia a global leader in the field.
The twins’ parents expressed their sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Kingdom’s government and people for the warm reception, hospitality, and swift response to their children's case.
