Separated twin fighting for life

Ganga Shrestha was fighting for her life in a Singapore hospital today, 10 days after surgeons separated her brain from that of her Siamese twin sister in a landmark operation.

The 11-month-old girl has a serious infection and is not doing well at all, said Dr Vincent Yeow, a plastic surgeon who was part of the Singapore hospital team that separated the Nepalese girls born joined at the head.
