Rotary International’s District 3271, comprising provinces of Sindh and Balochistan, has facilitated the treatment and subsequent heart surgery of Pakistani boy, Muhammad Sufiyan in the Indian city of Bangalore.
National Chair, Rotary’s Polio Plus Committee and a former District Governor said that Sufiyan, a nine-year-old boy, left for Bangalore with his parents on September 23. He was to be operated upon 10 or 12 days later in Bangalore.
“Sufiyan was under the treatment of Dr Nawaz Lashari at Karachi’s National Medical Centre for the past four months but the stage had come when he needed to undergo surgery.
“We got in touch with the Manipal Hospital in Bangalore for further advice where the ailing boy will be taken now,” Aziz Memon said.
While seeing off master Sufiyan and his parents, District Governor Shahab Balkhi said, “We will pray for the surgery to be a success, and look forward to a speedy recovery. Our prayers and good wishes are with the little boy.”
Bangalore happens to be the home town of Rohan Bopanna, Aisam-ul-Haq’s doubles’ partner. A nice coincidence.
