The procedure occurred after the health facility got approval from the Human Organ Transplantation Authority (HOTA).
The patient, identified as 33-year-old Behram, resides on the border between Sindh and Balochistan. Behram was suffering from hepatitis C, due to which his liver had completely been damaged, said GIMS director Dr Raheem Bux Bhatti while speaking to The Express Tribune. It had become necessary for him to undergo liver transplantation, he added.
