Doctors discovered the half-formed male baby – complete with a brain, arm and legs – behind the otherwise-healthy baby boy’s stomach after he was born. They successfully operated to remove the 7cm mass, which they suspect was a rare ‘foetus in fetu’ twin pregnancy – one of around 200 ever recorded in the world. Radiologist Dr Bhavna Thorat, who spotted the problem during a routine scan, said: ‘It was inside a fetal sac of the newborn.’ The unnamed baby and his 19-year-old mother from Mumbra, in India, are both healthy and doing well. ‘I could see a tiny head with the brain inside’ Dr Thorat noticed the abnormality during a routine scan of the pregnant woman at Bilal Hospital in Mumbra in early July.

The Law to back the replacement of the 17.5% Output-Input approach (or the Standard Rate Scheme) with the 3% VFRS had earlier been passed by Parliament unanimously and had been assented to by President Akufo-Addo as part of the 2017 economic policies of government. The commencement was initially met with disquiet from some industry players notably manufacturers and wholesalers. They have expressed a fear that the new approach if not restricted to retailers alone, has the potential of causing price hike of about 20% between the wholesaler and retailer. The main opposition party the NDC through its minority in Parliament quickly sought to jump unto the legitimate concerns and make political capital out of it – Claiming the Policy is ill conceived.
