Continuing the humanitarian approach in separation programs

In implementation of the directives of the 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—may God preserve them—the Moroccan conjoined twins “Saja and Doha” Abdulali Mounir arrived today at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, accompanied by their family, coming from the Kingdom of Morocco.

Upon arrival, the twins were immediately transferred to King Abdullah Specialist Children’s Hospital at the Ministry of National Guard to assess their condition and consider the possibility of a separation surgery.

Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabeeah, Advisor at the Royal Court, Supervisor General of King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, and head of the surgical team of the Saudi Conjoined Twins Program, expressed his highest appreciation to the leadership for this humanitarian initiative, which reflects the Kingdom’s established approach in helping people and alleviating suffering without discrimination, and highlights its medical excellence and global leadership in handling the most delicate and complex cases.

He noted that the continued successes achieved by the Saudi medical team in conjoined twins separation surgeries have reinforced the Kingdom’s position as a global center in this specialized field, and as a humanitarian destination that offers hope to families and children seeking a chance at life.

The twins’ family expressed their gratitude and appreciation to the Kingdom—its leadership and people—for the warm reception and generous hospitality, as well as the swift response to their daughters’ case.

This comes as the medical team also completed today the separation of the Filipino twins “Klea and Moris Ann,” in one of the most complex procedures globally, which lasted approximately 18 and a half hours, reflecting the Kingdom’s continued medical and humanitarian excellence in this field.

BETH Analysis

The event is not read as an isolated medical case…
but as a continuation of a consistent humanitarian approach.

Handling complex cases is no longer an exception,
but part of an integrated system that combines medicine and humanity.

In this field,
leadership is not measured only by the number of surgeries…
but by the number of lives given a chance.
