The paediatric cardiothoracic surgery team at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Sukkur performed a successful open heart surgery procedure on a 5-year old baby.
NICVD has created history in the cardiac care on March 19, when a two-member team of surgeons led-by Dr Shohail Khan Bangash (Head of Paeds Cardiac Surgery, NICVD) & Dr Muhammad Iqbal (Paeds Cardiac Surgeon, NICVD) along with anesthesiologist Dr Amin Khuwaja performed the first, free of charge open heart surgery on the baby.
Congratulating NICVD's surgeons team, Executive Director of NICVD Prof Nadeem Qamar stated that this is a huge achievement of National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases to perform first paeds open heart surgery at NICVD Sukkur 100 percent free, because this major cardiac surgery used to be done only in big cities of the country or abroad. With initiation of this cardiac surgery facilities, we will be able to provide comprehensive cardiology care to paeds patients.-PR
