Conjoined twin girls share a single heart

Doctors are caring for these conjoined twin girls who have been born sharing a single heart.

The one-day-old girls are joined from chest to stomach and are currently under observation at a hospital in Cuttack in the Indian state of Odisha.

Weighing just 8lb 8oz, they are alive and doctors aren't yet sure if they will be able to separate the pair, following their birth yesterday (1).

Parents Renubala and Pradeep Behera are yet to name the girls, who are now being looked after at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Post Graduate Institute for Paediatrics.
