In a groundbreaking medical feat, the selfless act of a young man from Rawalpindi has breathed new life into seven individuals through an unparalleled organ transplant procedure. Uzair bin Yasin, a beloved figure in his community, tragically passed away at the age of 36, but his legacy now thrives through the vital organs he donated.
One donor, seven lives saved
Uzair bin Yasin, a proprietor of a cosmetic store was rushed to CMH Hospital when his health abruptly deteriorated, ultimately leading to the loss of brain function. Despite the devastating prognosis, his family, including his sisters Dr. Seema and Dr. Sadaf, along with sister-in-law Faiza Hussain made the courageous decision to donate his organs upon his passing.
Under the skilled hands of medical experts at Bahria Safari Hospital and Pakistan Institute of Kidney and Liver Institute (PKLI) Lahore, Uzair’s kidneys, liver, pancreas and eyes were safely harvested and transplanted into recipients in dire need.
