Kidney transplants stopped at PKLI due to shortage of medicines:

Many lives are at risk due to the suspension of kidney transplants

Daniel Omar:


Kidney transplant at Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute has been stopped since the beginning of this year due to a shortage of medicines.


According to the PKLI administration, the needles used in transplants are missing in the market. Due to the shortage of medicines, many lives were in dangered.


According to the spokesperson of PKLI, the transplants had stopped due to the non-availability of medicines.


The injectable anti-thymocyte globulin used in the transplant has to be imported from abroad, but the injection became rare due to import problems.

At PKLA, one patient has a transplanted every day. Last year, 211 patients were transplanted.


The Chief Minister of Punjab approved the development of a college in his name at PKLI, but steps could not be taken to provide the much-needed injection to the hospital.
