Rital and Ritag

Rital and Ritag come from a family of doctors, so they had done their research prior to contacting our team. The girls arrived in the UK on April 11th 2011. They underwent their first surgery on 9th May 2011.

The surgery was staged over 4 separations, with the final separation being undertaken on 15th August 2011.

The girls made a swift recovery and were discharged from the hospital soon after. The girls and their parents are leading happy, fulfilling lives.
