SIUT is a good place.

Its not a government facility. Mostly privately funded and run.

Call up Kidney Center in Rawalpindi if nothing comes up in Karachi.

You may consult Doctors in Indus Hospital, they have top notch doctors on their panel.
Btw SIUT is one of the best for Kidney, you may have to work on selecting the Doctor.

SIUT is best known in this cause no parchi culture here even if you are top donar or vip. Get the patient register there and they will take care the rest.

Sorry to hear about your cousin.

I'm a doctor and have personally visited SIUT, Karachi. The doctor in lahore who advised against SIUT is either ignorant or idiot or probably a mix of both.

SIUT is THE top center for Kidney diseases in Pakistan and has received international accreditation and accolades.

Surprisingly it is totally self and donation funded therefore they do not charge even a single rupee to any one. Dr Adeeb Rizvi is a living legend who transformed an eight bed urology unit into a world class facility. Explore their facility online here .:: Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation ::.

Other Options include Armed Forces Institute of Urology ( Rawalpindi)

I would personally prefer the Department of Urology and Kidney Tranpslant at Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad ( Good quality care, coordinated team effort and promising results so far)

In Lahore you should try either Department of Urology at Sheikh Zaid or Doctors Hospital.

Ittefaq hospital is not even known for treating kidney diseases so better to consult a qualified person.

Very True. I can personally verify this. Tried to get an early parchi by skipping the line and still got number 85. Had to wait for 4 hours.

No VIPs or anything else there

Not many hospitals do Kidney transplant. It is a highly sophisticated procedure with very special and dedicated post-operative care. Your opinion might be a little flawed for SIUT in the sense that there a dozen of patients there and paying particular attention to everyone is not always possible. But trust me, in terms of Kidney transplant, it has one of the best operating theater, isolated post-operative barrier nursing care which by is the most important thing to prevent graft rejection.

The only drawback is that even if you register now, it would take minimum of 9-12 months for your turn to come for kidney transplant. And no matter whoever you bribe, the process cannot be completed any way sooner. In my opinion, SIUT is the best possible place for transplant.

You are right it is indeed the best hospital for kidney transplant...i guess the family is so worried about the patient so thought that maybe they can find something better than SIUT.

Btw one of the siblings is the donor so can that 9-12 months time be reduced by this?
