CJP visits Abdul Sattar Edhi

Edhi underwent a successful surgery at Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi on Tuesday

Chief Justice of Pakistan Anwar Zaheer Jamali on Thursday paid a visit to Abdul Sattar Edhi at Edhi Home in Karachi to inquire about his health, Express News reported.

Social activist and philanthropist Edhi underwent on Tuesday a successful surgery at Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi.



Last week, Karachi Corps Commander Lieutenant General Naveed Mukhtar visited Abdul Sattar Edhi at Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) to inquire about his health. Lt Gen Mukhtar said Edhi is the pride of the nation and is the name of humanity and compassion.



Further, on June 12, Army chief General Raheel Sharif and his wife sent a bouquet and a card to Edhi, wishing a healthy and peaceful life.

Earlier, Edhi turned down former president Asif Ali Zardari’s offer to be flown abroad for medical treatment, saying he preferred to receive treatment in Pakistan.



In the past, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and real estate tycoon Malik Riaz also offered to help Edhi in his treatment but he turned them down as well.

Edhi was diagnosed with kidney failure in June 2013 and was told by doctors he would have to be on dialysis for the rest of his life.
