treatment in pakistan
Zaid:
Hi Eesha,
If you're coming to Karachi you can get transfused at the Aga Khan University Hospital...their treatment is at par with any international hospital as per my experience.
From first hand experience Since i was very sensitive to blood compatibility Aga khan was one of the few hospital's offering washing of the blood. A practice common internationally. Thal centers also offer this service so please check with them. Cost for transfussion at Aga Khan is appx. Rs.8000 to 9000 per visit (for me atleast bcoz of the washing).

Hi eesha,
Zaid is right ,Aga Khan hospital is one of the best,they have state of the art modern lab and blood bank and everything,our daughter is going there for her transfusions right after she was diagnosed,and we had no problems Alhumdulillah,the cost per transfusion is about 7000-7200.

i live in mirpur azad kashmir but nobody will let me get transfused in pakistan they think even the specialist centres are conned. they say that the blood is not hiv screedned and donors are usually on drugs. also usually centres in pak ask u to bring ur own blood.
the advice i got not to get transfused in pak was from dr javeria mann who was a doctor in lahore and she said she has experienced it first hand and she says do not get transfused there so i am so confused.

I don't know what to say,Sajid i totally agree with you,Eesha Aga khan Hospital is an international standard hospital,they won't ask you to arrange blood,and they have an international standard laboratory and blood bank where they do all the screening which is needed before transfusion, i know all the thal centers are not doing very good job but if anyone is giving some efforts ,we should appreciate that,i don't know what should be said about prejudiced doctors like dr javeria,anyways i don't know much about other cities,though i feel like Jamila Sultana Foundation is doing a great job,but i am definitely sure about Aga Khan Hospital.
