Shahzeb
is two and a half and hails from Multan. He is the youngest
of five children. His father is a farmer and the sole breadwinner
of the family.
When Shahzeb was just one he started having difficulty urinating.
He was first taken to a district hospital from where he was
referred to the Children’s Hospital in Lahore. There
he was diagnosed with bilateral kidney and bladder stones,
but an extensive chest infection dissuaded doctors from operating
on little Shehzeb.
As a result his condition continued to deteriorate. Finally
in November, 2006 his distraught father brought him to SIUT.
Here, cleared of his infection, he underwent two operations
to remove his stones and is currently undergoing dialysis
until he receives a kidney transplant.

But Shahzeb is just one of over
112,500 children that are treated annually at our Paediatric
Urology, Nephrology and Transplantation wards at SIUT.
