Bhutan’s first conjoined twins, Nima Jamyang Palden and Dawa Sangye Palden, are currently studying in the first grade at Sonamgang Primary School in Puntsholing County.
They will be 7 years old on July 14. They are growing up healthily.
Their mother, Bumchu Zangmo, said they had not had any trouble since they returned from their separation in Australia. “They are both able to eat and play well,” she said.
She also said that although Nima was healthier before, now both of them are in the same health and weight.

However, Mom said that if one person catches a cold, the other will also catch a cold.
When they do physically demanding activities like jumping, they vomit violently. When one person vomits, the other will also start vomiting a few hours later.
Nima and Dawa are in the same class, but sit at different desks.
The mother said that they were in different classes in the PP class last year. She said, “This year I requested the teacher to put them in the same class because every time there were meetings and other activities, I could not attend.”
The twins’ teacher said Dawa was better at Dzongkha, while Nima was better at English. However, both performed equally well in IT subjects. “Overall, their academic performance is very good,” said a teacher.
Nima and Dawa actively participate in health and physical education classes but avoid physically strenuous activities.
Nima and Dawa get along well with their friends. “They bring their friends to our house and also go to their friends’ houses to hang out,” said their mother.
One teacher said it was sometimes difficult to differentiate between Nima and Dawa.
The mother said that Nima wrote with her left hand and Dawa wrote with her right hand, and they both wore the same clothes when they went out.
Their school principal, Tshewang, said they were given special care in school and in the classroom. He said they were doing well.
Nima and Dawa are Bhutan’s first conjoined twins. They were born on July 13, 2017 at the Puntsholing General Hospital. The identical twins were joined below the chest and above the pelvis and share a liver.
The twins were referred to the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) in Melbourne, Australia for surgery. All costs were covered by the Children First Foundation (CFF) in Melbourne.
On October 1, 2018, they traveled to Australia and were separated after a six-hour operation on November 9, 2018. After the operation, they were kept under observation for several months until the family was able to return home on March 7, 2019.
There are six other identical twins at Suonanjiang Primary School.
