Edhi’s eyes become source of vision for two blind persons
KARACHI: The two corneas donated by philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi after his death on Friday were successfully transplanted into two blind persons, read a statement issued by Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplant on Saturday.
The hospital said “Edhi sahab was amongst the first of the 2,000 donors registered at SIUT who have pledged their organs after death. The Edhi family donated both his eyes after he died at SIUT and fulfilled his will.”
“The surgery was performed in the late afternoon by a team of surgeons of the department of ophthalmology at SIUT,” the institute notified.
“The death of Edhi sahab has given vision to two most deserving persons and this is how he had wished his legacy to continue after death.”
The world renowned social worker and humanist died after 10 years of treatment at SIUT and since 2013 he was on thrice a week dialysis.
We all hope Edhi sahab’s donation will encourage others to save the lives of patients of end stage organ failure, read the SIUT statement.

Allah hu Akbar! no words for you Edhi sab!!
And now he can see to unlimited space in the grave by the grace of God.
Great man ! Even minutes before his death, his thoughts were to serve humanity !
A true human being. Salute!
The man can almost do no wrong. Even in his death he serves the humanity. Words can't do justice to describe him. RIP
Even in death Edhi Sab helped other. What a incredible man. Let us resolve to continue his mission of giving and helping others
Is there any institute to register as an eye donor in lahore?
Most humane,nobel,philanthropist,an ngo ,an institution,a helper, father of Karachiites,will always be remembered.
Lets hope we are imbibed as a society with his spirit.
A true GEM among men; An Angel of Mercy till his last breadth; even after his death he finds a use for himself (gave his corneas away).just hearing about him inspires me. May GOD bless his soul; May GOD gift us with more like him.
Salute to Edhi! I will also donate my organ parts after death! I will register myself at SUIT soon for this purpose.
Edhi Sattar's humanitarian work was all against the Wadera set up of Pakiatan
Edhi clearly the greatest human being of this and the past century by a great margin. I requestt July 10 to be Edhi Day please.
no words for a such a great man
The Saint has left us.
I am too small to say anything in Your praise...but lots and lots of respect Sirji!
Even after death a class act. Thank you Sir Idhi.
We are going to miss you badly... with loads love respect and regards...bharat
The name Edhi will one day enter the dictionary as a word for selfless service and generosity.
Love you Edhi Sahab
Hopefully this wonderful man's forward thinking values spill into the rest of Pakistan.
Not sure why Edhi wasn't nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize as I feel, he would have been awarded it.
How would we or Pakistan will ever forget or pay back for Mr. Edhi deeds? Impossible selfless services he rendered to humanity. I will call him above angels, if not then someone tell me his place in humanity. Never met or came close to him but tears are in my eyes while thinking and writing these lines. May the almighty Allaha bless his soul and make carry his work.
God rest him in peace InshaaAllah
Even in death (as in his life) he did what he does best. Made someone's life better. I don't believe in heaven but just for you I hope there is one.
I will try to lead my life like you.. kind sir...Rest In Peace
He continues his mission of mercy beyond his own lifetime. What an incredible human being.
"no religion is higher than humanity" - Edhi
Donating body organ is not permitted.
@Abdulla Hussain Who says so? If your own dying kin requires a kidney and you have a suitable match, are you going refuse them and walk away? On the contrary, cccording to the Ulemah & those who have studied Islam thoroughly they say that Shariah allows it if certain conditions are fulfilled.
He was a humble example of humanity. And still, we all are humans!
@Sarfraz certainly
great
If we follow the saint Eidhi no one be left blind in our country, He has not only illuminated two persons but infact illuminated twenty millions pakistanis.
@mehwish Sarwar search on google you might find something. Good luck
Spread the Word One Organ donor can safe 8 lives To help encourage all Pakistanis to register their consent to donate.
Together we can make a Difference.
@anwar siddique because Nobel prize would belittle Edhi sahib's work it is stupid politicized award , we need to create new award Edhi award. for those who do genuine humanitarian work
How to difficult it is to be a good human being. I wish, if we can be atlas 1% of what Edhi sahib has done. Pakistan and world would be a very different place. Thank you Edhi sahib.
Be with me please. After reading so much which is really very much amazing (I doubt if anyone else got so much projection) on Br Edhi in different newspapers both international and domestic either under editorial, news, article, blogs, comments and letters etc, I suggest that all such very valuable material must be collected and two albums be prepared containing this all. One album is presented to Edhi family and the other album be kept in the office of Edhi Foundation. To me this project simply cannot and should not be ignored whatsoever despite the fact that it is not only time consuming activity but also needs money to materialize.
These are true people of god. If Pakistani state had invested in people like him or her people to be like him, it were a different place all together.
If I were 10% the man Edhi saham was, I would be a great man.
Pakistan is a very blessed country, which has produced number of legendary people such as Abdul Sattar Eddhi, Dr Adeeb Rizvi and many others.
There is nothing much greater than humanity. When there was no religion humanity was there and when there will be no religion humanity shall remain there.
Salute to you Edhi saab. Respect from India.
It is a ripe time for Edhi foundation to add the world class 'Blood Bank' service.
Edhi is the most respected name in Pakistan and has a much higher reach than any other organization in Pakistan.
We must know 'One Bottle of Blood' can save up to Four Lives.
