These stages included reconstruction, cosmetic surgery, and skull closure, following the successful completion of the first three stages earlier.
On behalf of himself and all members of the medical and surgical team, he expressed gratitude and appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince and Prime Minister for the support and attention given to the Saudi Conjoined Twins Program. This support enabled the medical team to provide the highest standards of specialized healthcare, contributed to improving the quality of life for the benefiting children and their families, and enhanced the Kingdom’s standing in the fields of humanitarian and medical work.
