New Delhi: Shehary, a 10-year-old-boy from Karachi, became the 200th patient from Pakistan to undergo liver transplant at a Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi.
“Indraprastha Apollo Hospital has become probably the first hospital in the country to reach the 200 mark for patients from a single foreign country.
Medical Director and Senior Paediatric Gastroenterologist Dr. Anupam Sibal at a press conference said that we are delighted to have been able to touch the lives of so many patients from across the border.
From the time we performed successful liver transplant in India in 1998, the Apollo Transplant Programme has performed 776 liver transplants in children and adults, he added.
“Our experience with so many Pakistani patients and their families has taught us so much about Pakistani culture and the similarities between our societies,” Dr Anupam Sibal, Group Medical Director and Senior Pediatric Gastroenterologist, Apollo Hospitals said.
He further said that Indraprastha Apollo Hospital has now successfully completed 200 liver transplant cases of Pakistani patients with a success rate of over 90 per cent.
