Young Man’s Organ Donation Saves Lives at SIUT
Karachi – July 31, 2025:
A 23-year-old student, Sultan Zafar, has become a hero after his organs were donated to save the lives of two patients. Sultan, a dental surgery student, was declared brain-dead after a serious accident left him with severe head injuries.
After spending a week in the ICU, doctors confirmed that he could not recover. His mother, Dr. Mehr Afroze — a kidney specialist at SIUT — made a brave and selfless decision to donate his kidneys.
The organ transplants were done early in the morning at SIUT by a skilled team of doctors. The two patients who received the kidneys had no family donors and were surviving on dialysis. This donation gave them a new chance at life.
SIUT Director Professor Adib Rizvi praised the family’s decision. He said, “This is a moment of kindness and hope,” and urged the public to consider deceased organ donation to help save lives.
SIUT has been doing such transplants since 1995. However, experts say most people in Pakistan still don’t know much about it. Every year, many patients die while waiting for a transplant that could come from a deceased donor.
This story of Sultan Zafar reminds us that even in grief, families can offer hope to others. It also shows the need for more awareness and acceptance of organ donation in society.
