The historical and first medical operation of Siamese twins to surgically separate them has been successful.
Bupe and Mapalo shared a liver and were conjoined at the tummy.
Zambian top surgeons descended upon the pediatric D-Block theatre at the UTH to assist in the operation of the Siamese twins, Mapalo and Bupe.
The surgery is being led by Prof Lupando Munkonge, Prof Tackson Lambert, Dr Chadwick Ngwisha and Prof Sultanov.
Others include Senior doctors Prof James Munthali, Dr Penuis Tembo and Dr Mwanahamutu.
The front line surgeons, led by Dr Bruce Bvulani also include Dr Robert Zulu, Dr. Vernon M Pashi and Dr Mulenga Mulewa, Dr Dilbur and Dr Brown-Oranmore Ray.
Anesthesia is led by Dr Christopher Chanda, Dr Feruza Ismailova, Dr Dildora, Dr Sompwe, Dr Zubair and Dr Mumpasha.
Sisters are led by CNO Josephine Chimpinde, Sister Peggy Mashikati, Rebecca Kamboyi, Lucy Nampungwe, Felix Kamuchungu and Yvette Chulu.
The floor staff includes Richard Siambilu and Gift Mudenda.
The seven-hour surgery has since finished and the infants are recovering in the pediatric intensive care unit.
