Creating History at Fauji Foundation Hospital
On the 11th of September 2023, a remarkable milestone was achieved in the history of Fauji Foundation Hospital. Two successful corneal transplant surgeries were performed after official recognition by PHOTA and receiving consignment of donor corneas from the United States. This success massively boosted the morale of the doctors at Ophthalmology Department FFH. Therefore, under the leadership of Brig Rana Intisar-ul-Haq, HOD Ophthalmology, seven more patients were selected who underwent corneal transplants.
A new technique of layered transplant surgery, known as Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK), was also performed for two patients of advanced Keratoconus with remarkable visual outcomes. All the patients and their families were extremely grateful and could not contain their joy of being able to see after years of blindness.
All surgeries were successfully performed by Brig Intisar and by the grace of Almighty, the outcomes were very encouraging. The future of corneal transplant surgeries at Fauji Foundation Hospital now looks very bright.
