A high-level Polish delegation headed by former Polish President Lech Walesa arrived here yesterday to thank Crown Prince Abdullah and the Saudi government for helping to have the Polish conjoined twins separated at King Abdul Aziz Medical City.
The team, which includes former Premier Aan Bielecki, will meet the crown prince and the medical team which separated the twins — Daria and Olga — on Jan. 3.
During its three-day visit, the delegation is also slated to meet Prince Sultan, second deputy premier and minister of defense and aviation, Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal and officials of the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Three weeks ago, Polish Ambassador Adam Kulach hosted a reception in honor of the medical team where Dr. Rabeeah and his team of doctors and paramedics were given special awards on behalf of the government of Poland. The twins with their mother, Wieslawa Dabrowska, and the accompanying Polish pediatrician Dr. Jolanta Jezewska were given a special audience by the crown prince on the day the twins were officially discharged from the hospital. Dr. Rabeeah said that the twins are ready to go home and now they are living with the mother in her apartment at the hospital compound.
