Rabeah, Minister of Health, receives an honorary professorship from Astana Medical University in Tajikistan on Thursday for his “outstanding work in the field of conjoined twin separation”. Al-Rabeah received the honor while visiting the university to give a lecture on Saudi Arabia's experience in the surgical separation of conjoined twins, an area in which he said it had made “considerable achievements since it first began work in the field in 1990”. “We have performed so far 27 successful separation operations,” the minister said.
