KARACHI  “People who pledge to donate their organs are heroes”. This was said by Dr.Adib Rizvi who is the Director Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT).

Dr.Rizvi who is strong advocate of organ donation was speaking to a gathering of doctors, nurses and para medics at the Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center (JPMC) arranged by Dr.Raza Rizvi head of Neurosurgery at JPMC.

Dr Rizvi added, “there is no restriction on donating organs after death and such people never die as those who receive their organs always pray for them and remember them in good words”.

The moving speech persuaded forty doctors, nurses and other paramedics to fill out the pledge form and announce they would donate their organs after death for saving lives of people.

Quoting from the Holy Quran, Dr.Rizvi said anyone who saves the life of a person saves all humanity. Even many fatwa are issued in support of organ donation.

Dr Rizvi cited the example of renowned philanthropist Maulana Abdus Sattar Edhi, who donated both his eyes after death

He further, Pakistan has a high rate of patients dying due to organ failure every month thus it is high time that more people should pledge for organ donation to serve humanity.
