Ladan and Laleh Bijani

The Bijani sisters were lost in a hospital in 1979 after the doctors responsible for them fled back to the United States during the Islamic revolution.

They were born in Firuzabad, a city in southwest Iran, to Dadollah Bijani and Maryam Safari, members of a farming family from Lohrasb.

In November 2002, after meeting Dr. Keith Goh, a Singaporean neurosurgeon who successfully separated the Shrestha sisters from Nepal (Ganga and Jamuna), who had previously also been joined at the head, the Bijani sisters travelled to Singapore to undergo the controversial operation.
