Paul Mukisa was born on May 27 with a condition known as ‘parasitic twinning’, its where one twin is not fully developed. Paul had two legs and arms from his brother that never fully grew. Paul was the host body so he had four arms and legs.

After examinations it also showed his heart was on the right side and liver was on the left, complete opposite of most humans. While Paul was too small to operate on when he was first born, doctors waited until he was three months old to remove the extra arms and legs.

The undeveloped twin was attached to Paul but had no head or heart. During the operation doctors also moved the heart and liver to the correct spots in the body. Paul is recovering very well and is expected to leave the hospital in two weeks and should make a full recovery.

The child, born in Uganda, was thought by the parents, at first, to be a victim of witchcraft but are very grateful for everything the doctors were able to do.
