Liver transplant: Recipient dies at PIMS

ISLAMABAD: Attaullah Baloch, 33, who was the first patient at the Pims Liver Transplant Centre to receive a live donor liver transplant last week died on Tuesday, hospital sources said. His body was handed over to his relatives. Earlier on Monday, Baloch had been transferred to the intensive care unit after his body started rejecting the donated liver from his wife. The transplant, the centre’s first, was carried out by a team of British and Pakistani surgeons.
