In a ground-breaking achievement, doctors at the Bahria Town Safari Hospital in Rawalpindi have successfully saved three lives through the transplantation of organs donated by a late donor.<\/p>\n

According to the hospital management, the medical teams transplanted the late Riffat Zartaj\u2019s liver and two kidneys into three patients, marking a significant milestone.<\/p>\n

The kidney transplants were performed at the Bahria Town Safari Hospital, giving a second chance of life to 28-year-old Ahsan Jameel and 53-year-old Major Rukhsana Tasneem. Simultaneously, the liver transplantation took place at PKLI Hospital, saving the life of a 35-year-old patient named Umar Khayyam.<\/p>\n

All three recipients are reported to be recovering rapidly.<\/p>\n

During a press conference, the management of the hospital revealed that Riffat Zartaj had expressed her desire to donate both kidneys and her liver in 2012. Tragically, she suffered a fatal brain stroke earlier this month, prompting her family to fulfil her wishes. With the family\u2019s consent, doctors at the hospital successfully removed Riffat Zartaj\u2019s kidneys and liver.<\/p>\n

Dr Fahad Abbas, the deceased woman\u2019s brother, shared details of the events leading up to the organ donation. He explained that Riffat\u2019s wish to donate her organs dates back to 2012, and after a fatal stroke on November 9, the family decided to honour her will. Dr Noorul Huda, the daughter of the deceased, emphasised the family\u2019s commitment to organ donation awareness and fulfilling their mother\u2019s wishes.<\/p>\n
