In 2018 Owase Jeelani founded Gemini Untwined a charity dedicated to the research, support, and treatment of craniopagus twins worldwide, as well as other complex craniofacial and neurosurgical conditions. The conception of the charity Gemini Untwined was born out of the necessity to provide a logistical framework for the treatment of the Pakistani Twins, Safa and Marwa. It has since grown to support multiple sets of twins, their families and their medical team from across the globe.
Mr Jeelani has led the successful separation of multiple sets of craniopagus twins, including Sudanese twins Rital and Ritag in 2011 and then, through Gemini Untwined, Pakistani twins Safa and Marwa in 2019, Turkish twins, Yigit and Derman in 2020, and a set of Israeli twins in 2021.
These operations have received significant international recognition, including from The New York Times, Sky News, CNN, The Times and the BBC– whose article about Safa and Marwa was ranked as the 6th most read article globally.
Owase Jeelani and his family are patrons of a children’s charity in Kashmir sitting on the Board of Trustees for the UK arm of the charity.
The charity CHINAR Kashmir is a non-political and non-profit organisation focusing on improving the lives of marginalised children, women and families based in Jammu and Kashmir, were Owase was born.
