Despite approval of funds for the liver transplant unit at Shaikh Zayed Hospital (SZH), not a single rupee could be released to run the unit smoothly, hospital sources said on Sunday.

They said when former Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif had inaugurated the transplant unit in February 25 last year, it was announced the Punjab government would bear all expenses of liver transplantation. However, despite a passage of over one year, the sole unit in the public sector hospitals in Pakistan, has been working on a self-help basis, by receiving all expenses from patients, sources said. Seven liver transplants were performed in the unit on an experimental basis and six of them are living a healthy life, it was learnt. Almost 80 to 90 percent liver disease patients suffer from viral diseases like hepatitis, while the remaining patients have other problems, said a professor at the unit.
