JUST a day after her operation, Nepalese twin Jamuna Shrestha, eight, is out of danger and moved to the general ward on Thursday.

She had wanted to return to the familiar room on Wednesday, saying she was feeling fine and there was no need for her to be kept in intensive care.

But doctors felt she needed close monitoring after the more than four-hour surgery to her brain. The base of her head now has a 3-cm circle with no bone covering - similar to the palm-sized patch at the top of her head.
