Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital’s medical team has successfully operated a rare and complicated eye tumour of 7-month-old Hadia Sadat hailing from Kabul, Afghanistan.
Following Hadia’s refusal by hospitals in Kabul, Lahore, and Peshawar due to her severe condition, Al-Shifa Trust’s medical professionals took the responsibility of treating the infants, said Major General (Retd) Rehmat Khan, President of Al-Shifa Trust here Monday.
He informed that complexity and risk associated with this surgery required unparalleled expertise and a high level of dedication.
The treatment presented a significant challenge due to the eye tumour, which weighed 400 grams and measured 10 by 16 inches. Despite the high risks, an expert team of Oculoplastic surgeons and Pediatric anaesthetists, including Dr Murtaza, Dr Zahra, Dr Huda, Col. Dr Mansoor-ul-Haq, and Dr Ali Raza, performed the complex surgery with success.
Rehmat continued by saying, “I am extremely pleased with our medical team, whose commitment and expertise have been instrumental in saving Hadia’s life.”
