Good Work - I hope liver transplant becomes more cheaper and easier in Pakistan and widely available as large number of Pakistanis suffer from Hepatic disease.

Medical advancement: First liver transplant in Pakistan – The Express Tribune

LAHORE: The first liver transplant in Pakistan was successfully conducted at Sheikh Zayed hospital.

The surgery, headed by the Chairman of the Sheikh Zayed hospital Amir Raza, was carried out by a team of doctors including Dr Tariq Bangash.

The 12-hour long transplant was done on a resident of Sialkot, Amir Raza.

The liver transplant centre at the Sheikh Zayed was inaugurated a year ago by the Capital Development Authority (CDA) with the total cost of Rs400 million.

Excellent job!

EVERYONE should be an organ donor. Why should you care what happens to your flesh after you die? You can bring life and joy to many people.

In the U.S., they have a notation on your driver's license where you can state that you want to be a donor. Some people worry that doctors will see this and not try hard to save you, which is silly.

it was the first succesful operation

it has been attempted before, but the first time the patient expired....due to malpractices. At least this is what i've been told from people more privvy to the details.

when applying for DC driver license, i checked the box. I am an organ donour as well.

and i'm proud of it. Because it makes sense. If you die but your organs are functional, why not save another life?

Agree, most Pakistanis who can afford it normally travels to India for it. I hope the poor can recieve it locally one day from Pakistan.

no they mostly go to Dubai, London and Bangkhok to get such operations done.

but thanks to doctors in Pakistan who are as capable, now patients can remain ''in-house''....things are changing rapidly in medical field in Pakistan --despite govt. apathy.

you can even get plastic surgery, hair transplants and other cosmetic things done too....of course these things cost a pretty penny

On a lighter note - I know some lasses who have had a certain famous cosmetic enhancement done in Pakistan - I must say it was most impressive.

Glad to know, it's a big success.

Can PK do all types of operations for heart diseases?

We are successful in this sector and BD patients do not have to go another country for any cardiac problem.

We have many large and state of the art Cardiology institutions. So yes pretty much all heart ops.
