A woman in India gave birth to a healthy child

in Muktsar, Punjab, after a major operation last

the intensive care unit of the hospital where the
condition of the child is stated to be critical.
Doctors said that if the baby survives for 24
hours, then he can be referred to a bigger
institution for further treatment.
Payal Rani, wife of Subhash and resident of
Goniana road in Muktsar, was admitted in Guru
Nanak Ayurvedic College and Hospital at
Barkandi road in city for delivery at about 10 am
on Tuesday morning. The blood pressure of the
woman was very high and doctors decided to
operate her.
A panel of three doctors – Dr Sukhvinder Singh,
Dr Mukesh Bansaland Dr M L Ashwani –
operated the woman, but were shocked to see
the child. The child was born with two heads
and two necks separately, with a single body.
"The baby born with two heads and necks is a
full term male baby. He is active and healthy
now. The weight of baby at the time of birth is
3.1 kg. At the time of birth, the baby was not
crying which is mandatory. But after treatment,
he cried. The baby was shifted to the nursery in
my hospital where he is being kept on oxygen
and fluid. He is surviving well", said Dr
Rajendra Bansal, a child specialist.
"We asked parents of the baby to refer the baby
to some bigger institution like AIIMS or PGI,
Chandigarh. They are from labour class and
were not willing to go anywhere. They pleaded
with us to take the baby home but IMA (Indian
Medical Association), Muktsar has decided to
treat the baby. The baby was later sent to my
hospital from Guru Nank Hospital." Bansal said.
"The IMA has decided that if the baby survives,
then the cost of treatment of the baby will be
borne by them. This is the first time when such
type of a baby is born in Muktsar and he is alive.
About ten years back, a baby was born with two
heads and necks, but he was born dead", Dr
Mukesh said.
