Sheraz
is 18 years old and hails from Larkana, where his father,
the sole bread winner in the family works in a shop. In addition
to sheraz, his father must support his wife and six other
children. At the age of five, malformation in Sheraz’s
urinary tract led to a chronic infection. Repeated attempts
to treat this condition by local doctors failed, and in 2006
aged 17, Sheraz went to Kidney failure. The doctors advised
his family to prepare for the worst.
Determined to save his son’s life, Sheraz’s father
brought him to SIUT. Such was the severity of his condition
that both his kidneys had to be removed and he was put on
haemodialysis or seven months, and in August this year he
was given a kidney transplant.

But Sheraz is just one of the
estimated 6,000 cases requiring a kidney transplant that present
themselves across Pakistan every single year
