I am not sure about heart transplant though.

This is just one of the few cases.

...this is a 2011 report about heart transplantation in Pakistan and till now many dozens operations must have been performed, Pakistan had this facility since 2011, @SunilM is mistaken here as he is kind of braid dead...should donate his heart.


Pakistan’s first heart transplant surgery next month, 2011 report

ISLAMABAD: The first heart transplant surgery in the history of the country will be performed at the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC), Rawalpindi, next month by a team of surgeons headed by Major General Azhar Mahmood Kiyani, the AFIC commandant and head of the National Institute of Heart Diseases (NIHD).

All arrangements for the first heart transplant surgery, which will start at around 2:30 hours have been completed. The success ratio of heart transplant surgery is 90 percent while 70 to 80 percent of the patients can survive for at least another 10 years after undergoing heart transplant. The patient, who had undergone heart transplant surgery in Britain, 13 years ago is still alive and living a healthy life.

Mash'Allah good news.

I was not aware of this.

May our country reach ever new heights, Insh'Allah.

 

[Zee-shaun]

I was under the impression that he had already rejected Indian offer.
Maybe he's just another attention seeker.

 

[xyxmt]

Well, thats why send him to IRON BROTHER for gods sake. All of them want to come to India only. China keeps giving you billions of dollars a month, why can't they fund treatment of the average Pakistani? Pakistan is their brother and responsibility in the region now!

for the same reason when Russian provided you all kind of defense tech (without teaching any though) but kept the toilet technology to herself.

 

[hazzam]

If we could buy off hearts from our Poor.like u do with yours we would have performed 100s of heart transplants by now


Chinese hearts aren't for sale to Pakistani like Indian hearts r for $

people are ready to sell their mothers for dollars , don't you know ? what to talk about heart ?

this has been said by american general about people of a certain country which is pure .

for the same reason when Russian provided you all kind of defense tech (without teaching any though) but kept the toilet technology to herself.

russia provided support which resulted in your ultimate humiliation in the form great surrender of 1971 which is haunting you till today

Probably that news was pushed by someone else after offering him treatment in Pakistan, after his request to India.

For obvious reasons.

 

[PurpleStone]

Who don't he get it from both India and Pakistan?

Mansoor Ahmed to receive Pakistan’s first mechanical heart aid

For the first time in Pakistan, a unique technology is being introduced to treat heart patients, whose left or right valves have become dysfunctional, enabling them to have mechanical hearts valves implanted.



Former goalkeeper of the Pakistan hockey team, Mansoor Ahmed will be the first patient to have this device implanted.

On the request of the head of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) in Karachi, Professor Nadeem Qamar, world famous heart transplant surgeon Dr Pervez Chaudhry has joined the institute.

The use of this new technique is the result of the efforts of Prof Qamar. The head of the hospital has also given an order to an American firm to implant a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in Ahmed. It will be implanted next month at the NICVD.

The use of an LVAD allows patients to live normal lives in cases where they otherwise would not be able to do so.

The hospital’s administration has begun work to offer new and advanced procedures to cardiac patients.

Ahmed has been suffering from complex cardiac issues for the past several years. Two years ago, a cardiac resynchronisation device was implanted in his weak heart, after which he was able to lead a normal life.



However, his cardiac issues resurfaced this year, after which Prof Qamar contacted Dr Chaudhry to intervene. He requested the surgeon to visit Pakistan and join the hospital to save several precious lives, including that of the former hockey team player.

Hospital administrator Dr Hameedullah Malik told Express News that Dr Chaudhary has indeed joined the institute. According to Dr Malik, all preparations for Ahmed’s procedure have been completed. He attributed the success of implanting a mechanical device in the heart to Prof Qamar.

Dr Malik said this is the first time the LVAD is being introduced in Pakistan. A mechanical device is inserted in the right side of the patient’s heart. Due to the procedure, the right side of the heart will start functioning with the help of the device.

He shared that the new technique is receiving acknowledgment and that this technique is a ray of hope for cardiac patients.

Patients whose hearts stop functioning are candidates for LVADs. Dr Malik said that the cost of the procedure is very high but it will be provided free of charge at the NICVD. He thanked the Sindh government, saying that the chief minister has supported the institute and played an important role in ensuring treatment for poor patients with the most advanced technology.

Contrary to media reports that Ahmed had refused to be treated at the NICVD and instead wanted to undergo a heart transplant in India, Dr Malik said he is still under observation at the facility.

He said that currently, the team of doctors is trying to control Ahmed’s dehydration that he has been suffering since his lungs were filled with water. According to Dr Malik, there is no one to look after him and he has not turned down the hospital’s offer of the free of charge procedure as long as he recovers completely after the surgery.

@SunilM, this has to be the most pathetic attempt at trolling I have seen in a while. There seems to be no limit to the pettiness where you come from huh?

Honest advice, please grow up.

 

[Hamza913]

we don't see it as begging , you should be ashamed of yourself , begging for work in UK!
he has the right to take good treatment from any part of the world , its is basic right as a human being
what are you expecting him, to take wrong treatment & die, really amusing to see looser like you judge people

Not begging, and not working (I'm a student).

Going to the enemy country is humiliating, especially when there is literally no need to, and Hindustanis would never do the same if you needed treatment.

Well Mr.honourable in case weren't aware of it, he isn't financially able to afford this treatment and not a single person from the country offered to pay to save his life. The only place the offer came from was the "enemy state" (and yes the offer's main purpose is probably to rub it in our face). In the end what matters is whether his life is saved or not, ask the dead if "honour" matters.

There are cheap alternatives in other countries.

 

[HariPrasad]

Instead of Critiquing the deficiency of the Pakistani state in providing health services and spending the majority of the budget in making payments towards and defence expenditure and debt repayment, blame is sought to be apportioned on Evil Indian Medical Tourism. There is reason why everybody rushes to India and UK. Maybe lack of introspection is one major reason!

Look at the big mouth gang. Where these sort of people are in big numbers, they can just brag. They could not treat their patients but will always talk big mouth. Ek burnol jaisi tube banana kikaikat to hai nahi.
