KARACHI: The Dow Uni­versity of Health Sciences (DUHS) on Tuesday announced that its surgeons accompanied by a team of surgeons from the Apollo Hospital of India performed three consequent liver transplants.

A spokesman for the hospital said team leader Dr Subhash Gupta, who had successfully performed nearly 2,000 liver transplants, helped the DUHS team with other team members in the transplants.

“The donors do not need ICU care and they will be shifted to the ward soon,” said the spokesman, adding that the three recipients of liver were absolutely fine.

Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad, who sponsored the first 10 patients of liver transplant at the DUHS, visited the hospital, met the transplant team and gave shields of appreciation to the Indian surgeons.
