Eastleigh Voice – The young patient’s ordeal began when he fell ill, prompting an examination that ultimately revealed the presence of four kidneys.

Dr. Abdikarin, a specialist in urology and male reproductive surgery, expressed astonishment at the discovery after attending to the patient, whose condition joins a handful of documented cases worldwide.
“The patient who visited the hospital was found to have this condition after an examination, which was surprising because only three people were known worldwide, and he would be the fourth,” Dr. Abdikarin told BBC Somalia.
