Karachi April 25, 2021 Three more liver transplants were successfully carried out at the Ojha Campus of the Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) in 24 hours under the supervision of eminent Pakistani transplant surgeon Dr Faisal Saud Dar, who urged the government to immediately initiate a cadaveric organ donation programme in the country so that organs of brain-dead persons could help save lives of people with organ failure. “At least 8,000 people annually require liver transplants in Pakistan to save their lives due to end-stage liver disease. Similarly, thousands of people require kidney transplants, pancreas and corneal transplants in the country due to organ failure. Lives of these people can only be saved by launching and promoting a cadaveric organ donation programme in the country,” Dr Dar told The News while supervising the liver transplants at the OT Complex of the Ojha Campus.
