Rawalpindi's Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and Research Center (PKLI&RC) is preparing to launch major new treatment services, including kidney and liver transplants, from September. The hospital has already registered 20 kidney transplant patients and eight liver transplant patients along with their donors. PKLI Rawpindi currently offers various medical services, such as emergency and outpatient department (OPD) services, dialysis, laser treatment, lithotripsy for kidney stones, CT scans, and laboratory testing.
The transplant program will be overseen by Dr. Faisal Masood Dar, a renowned liver transplant surgeon and Dean of PKLI Lahore and Rawalpindi. The hospital plans to introduce robotic surgery soon, besides already having four modular operation theaters, an ICU, HDU, and radiology and pathology services. Human resource arrangements have been finalized, with two kidney transplant surgeons and two liver transplant surgeons on staff.
PKLI Rawpindi strictly adheres to PHOTA rules and regulations, allowing only blood relatives to donate kidneys or liver parts to patients.
