Published in The Saudi Gazette on 29 - 07 - 2025

RIYADH — The conjoined Jamaican twins, Azaria and Azura Elison, arrived Monday at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh aboard a medical evacuation flight operated by the Saudi Ministry of Defense.
Upon arrival, the twins were transferred to King Abdullah Specialist Children's Hospital at King Abdulaziz Medical City under the Ministry of National Guard for a comprehensive medical evaluation and to assess the feasibility of a separation surgery.
The initiative comes in line with the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, reflecting Saudi Arabia's ongoing humanitarian commitment to complex pediatric cases around the world.
Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, Supervisor General of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center and head of the medical and surgical team for the Saudi Conjoined Twins Program, expressed deep gratitude to the Saudi leadership.
He praised the Kingdom's advanced medical capabilities and humanitarian leadership in treating children with complex conditions globally.
He noted that the Saudi medical team has built significant expertise over the years, having successfully performed numerous separation surgeries, making Saudi Arabia a global reference in this highly specialized field.
The twins' family expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Kingdom's leadership and people for their warm reception, generous hospitality, and swift response to the twins' condition.
