Pakistan’s World Cup winning field hockey goalkeeper Mansoor Ahmed Monday reached out to India for help in securing a heart transplant – despite years of breaking his rivals’ “hearts on the field”.

The 49-year-old has been suffering for weeks from complications stemming from a pacemaker and stents implanted in his heart.

Ahmed has been a sporting icon in Pakistan since helping the country win the 1994 World Cup in Sydney with his penalty stroke push against the Netherlands in the final.

“I may have broken a lot of Indian hearts on the field of play by beating India in the Indira Gandhi Cup (1989) and in other events but that was sport,” Ahmed told AFP.

“Now I need a heart transplant in India and for that I need support from the Indian government.”

India-Pakistan ties, including sports and cultural contacts, plummeted after the 2008 militant attacks in Mumbai, which New Delhi blamed on Pakistani militant groups.

Despite the strained ties, Pakistanis are eligible to apply for medical visas to India, renowned for its booming medical tourism industry.

Ahmed – who played 338 international matches, participated in three Olympics and various other high-profile events in a career spanning from 1986 to 2000 – said the visa could be a lifesaver.

“Humanity is paramount and I too would be obliged if I get a visa and other help in India” said Ahmed.

Sport has been one of the few avenues to improve relations between the arch rivals, he added.

“We have had a great rivalry and sports have helped on a number of occasions so that should continue,” said Ahmed.

India has suspended most bilateral sporting ties with Pakistan since 2008, with high-profile cricket tours bearing the brunt of the moratorium.

They have, however, continued to play each other in multinational events like the World Cup.

We should have send this national hero to US or U.K since quality of Indian surgeons are very low but because of cheap treatment many poor patient visit India.

In another case of medical negligence recently, a senior doctor at All India Institutes of Medical Sciences allegedly performed a procedure required for dialysis treatment on a 30-year-old woman, who had complained of abdominal pain.

And what makes you think the doctors in the UK or USA will be any less Indian than those found in India?

What a sad, insecure human being you are.

He isn't there but asking for it. I seriously don't like the Indian Govt and their Bhakts but many of our patients visit India for treatment. There is no need for Markhoor to make a fuss on it or show hatred. Trolling or being Anti doesn't suit everywhere. That's a childish approach.

I wish he gets a visa & donor very soon.

 

[Sully3]

posters who troll about medical treatment show their real class and family morals.

 

[Chhatrapati]

Get well soon.

I wish Govt of Pakistan arrange best for him.. @Horus @The Eagle can you guys share this on social media pages. i wouldn't like him being used as propaganda tool by low life sanghi swines..

 

[Ocelot]

No dude, Pakistan won't improve unless people accept there's genuinely an issue with the health sector and Govt. is more interested in building useless motorways than increasing health budget. However, if you can't do that the best you could do is not mocking others.

It was in the past when few people used to go for critical transplants, Modi regime changed the rule specifically for Pakistani patients, now they need signature of Pakistani foreign minister for medical visa.. or they have to beg on twitter. its humiliating.. @Maarkhoor is right.

There is nothing wrong sending him to India, its a lot cheaper option than others. Personally I would sent him to USA not even UK, his situation is lot more complicated than people think !
