Millions of people suffering from kidney problems in Pakistan are trying every moment to catch up with life. Pakistan Kidney Institute, Islamabad is playing a vital role in bringing these people closer to life.

Pakistan Kidney Institute is equipped with most modern paraphernalia and facilities as per the contemporary international standards for urology, nephrology and transplant surgery. The Institute has been established to cater for the meager and underprivileged populace so that poverty and lack of resources may not become non-negotiable impediments in their quest for best available treatment.

Attn: Dear Sirs,
Re: Kidney transplant of my sons aged 25 and 39 respectively
I am sorry for encroaching on your precious time but having come to know of your very glorious, commendable and humanitarian approach for helping the transplantation of CRF patients the world over, I take the liberty of addressing you these few lines to draw your attention. My predicament is that out of my four sons, three has had a renal failure. They are all young aged 40, 39 and 25. The eldest one, after having been on dialysis for a considerable time had his transplantation in Mumbai 18 years before in 1992. He is very much well with this transplant.
However, the remaining two sons are also the victims of CRF and are on regular dialysis. I and my wife being 67 years old with hypertension are not accepted by our famous S.I.U.T (Sind Institute of Urology and transplantation) and we have no option but to depend on out of the family donor.
I shall appreciate whatever the help can be extended by you or your hospital by way of a donor, surgery, medication or in whatever way possible, wholly or partly, overt or covert.
Kindly note that both patients are A+ positive therefore they need A+ positive donor.
Looking very much to hear from you and with all the high regards,
