HANOI, June 28: Doctors in Vietnam have decided not to surgically separate the two heads of a baby girl who was born last week. The baby has been receiving supplemental oxygen in the intensive-care ward of children’s hospital No 1 in Ho Chi Minh City because of a heart complication, Dr Cam Ngoc Phuong said on Saturday.

X-rays and examinations show the baby has two heads, two backbones, two lungs and two hearts, but only one hipbone, one set of reproductive organs, two arms and two legs, the doctor said.

The baby was born last Monday in the Mekong delta province of Tien Giang to a poor family of farmers.
