Jinnah Hospital In Karachi Performed A Successful Knee Cancer Operation.
An artificial knee was inserted to give a 26-year-old patient a new lease on life after doctors at Jinnah Hospital performed the hospital’s 1st-ever knee cancer procedure.
The young kid had cancer in both his lower leg and knee, according to Dr. Farukh. At Jinnah Hospital in Karachi, a group of “orthopaedic and plastic surgeons performed a 4-hour procedure to remove the cancer and install a prosthetic knee”.
Dr. Farukh attested that the patient’s body presently shows no signs of cancer and that all post-operative testing returned normal. He stated that the Jinnah Hospital in Karachi was providing the artificial knee, which typically costs between “Rs1 million and Rs1.1 million”, for free.
These mechanical knees are successful for “20 to 25 years” worldwide, giving patients long-term mobility. Approximately “Rs3.5 million was spent on the surgery, which was completely free of charge”.
Whereas “Drs. Farukh, Muzaffar, Wali, Shahid, and Khushal were on the surgery team, and Agha Waseem, Mehak, Komal, and Farooq were on the plastic surgery team”.
A vaccination to prevent breast cancer was previously produced successfully in Pakistan. According to specifics, the Institute of Public Health Punjab has created a vaccine to shield women from breast cancer. The development of the Human Papillomavirus vaccine has sparked a policy discussion that experts believe might mark a significant turning point in the nation’s healthcare system.
Punjab Finance Minister Mujtaba Shuja commented on the breakthrough, saying that the Institute of Public Health’s creation of the Papilloma Vaccine is an important victory and that the province government is giving the health sector particular attention.
Professor Dr. Javed Akram, a well-known medical specialist, stated that the vaccination would aid in avoiding the spread of breast cancer. He clarified that females would be protected against the disease for the rest of their lives if they received 3-doses of the vaccination at the age of twelve.
