SIUT Operates On A 5 Year Old For An open Heart Surgery

Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) has achieved a remarkable milestone by performing its first-ever open-heart surgery on a 5-year-old girl, Zainab. The successful operation is a testament to the trust and confidence that the people of Pakistan have in SIUT and its Director, Prof Adib Rizvi, and his team.

Zainab was suffering from a hole in her heart, which caused frequent chest infections and increased blood flow to the lungs. A team of 9 doctors, 2 perfusionists, and 8 nurses worked tirelessly to ensure the safe and successful surgery and post-operative care of the child.
