Apollo Hospital Performs Rare Twin Liver Transplants on Filipino Brothers
Delhi's Indraprastha Apollo Hospital performed rare living donor liver transplants on Filipino twin brothers Kelly and Tyler, both diagnosed with choledochal cyst, a congenital bile duct disorder causing liver failure. The twins, born prematurely, faced severe complications including jaundice and gastrointestinal bleeding.

This marked the hospital's first paediatric twin liver transplant among over 600 such procedures, offering the twins a new lease on life.
